From the Back Cover:
"I was born with skins too few. Or they were scrubbed off me by. . . robust and efficient hands."
About the Author:
The experiences absorbed through these "skins too few" are evoked in this memoir of Doris Lessing's childhood and youth as the daughter of a British colonial family in Persia and Southern Rhodesia Honestly and with overwhelming immediacy, Lessing maps the growth of her consciousness, her sexuality, and her politics, offering a rare opportunity to get under her skin and discover the forces that made her one of the most distinguished writers of our time.
Doris Lessing is one of the most important writers of the twentieth century and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature 2007. Her first novel, 'The Grass is Singing', was published in 1950. Among her other celebrated novels are 'The Golden Notebook', 'The Fifth Child' and 'Memoirs of a Survivor'. She has also published two volumes of her autobiography, 'Under my Skin' and 'Walking in the Shade'. Doris Lessing died on 17 November 2013 at the age of 94.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neu Neuware, Importqualität, auf Lager, Sofortversand - Doris Lessing schreibt hier über die ersten dreißig Jahre ihres Lebens, über die Kindheit im Iran, auf der elterlichen Farm im ehemaligen Südrhodesien und über die Zeit, die sie als junge Frau in Salisbury, der Hauptstadt der britischen Kronkolonie, verbrachte. 'Wir sehen unser Leben in jeder Phase unterschiedlich.', sagt Doris Lessing, 'wenn ich dieses Buch mit Dreißig geschrieben hätte, wäre es ein ziemlich aggressives Dokument geworden. Mit Vierzig ein Aufschrei der Verzweiflung, voller Schuldgefühle. Jetzt blicke ich mit wachsender Distanz und Neugier zurück auf das Kind, das Mädchen, die junge Frau.'.
