"Janet Frames autobiographischer Roman erzählt die Lebensgeschichte einer der eigenwilligsten Autorinnen der Weltliteratur. Die junge Janet Frame wächst unter ärmlichen und tragischen Umständen an der Küste Neuseelands auf: ihr Bruder erkrankt an Epilepsie, und ihre beiden Schwestern ertrinken bei Badeausflügen. Nach einem Selbstmordversuch in die Psychiatrie eingeliefert, rettet die junge Autorin nur wenige Tage vor einer geplanten Hirnoperation ein Literaturpreis, und sie wird nach acht Jahren entlassen. "Ein Engel an meiner Tafel" liefert den Beweis für die lebensspendende Kraft der Literatur, erzählt von einer Autorin, die ihr Leben dem Schreiben widmete und bis zum Ende aus dieser Kraft schöpfte. Frames Autobiographie gehört zu den bedeutendsten Beispielen für dieses Genre im 20. Jahrhundert. Janet Frame wurde 1924 als drittes von fünf Kindern eines Eisenbahnarbeiters in Dunedin, Neuseeland, geboren, wo sie 2004 auch starb. Frame ist Autorin von zwölf Romanen, darunter "Wenn Eulen schrein" und "Gesichter im Wasser", fünf Erzählsammlungen, darunter "Die Lagune". Sie veröffentlichte Gedichte und ein Kinderbuch. Der posthum erschienene Roman "Dem neuen Sommer entgegen" (C.H.Beck, 2010) wurde international gefeiert. Jane Campions preisgekrönter Film zu "Ein Engel an meiner Tafel" (1990) war ein grandioser Erfolg und machte die Autorin weltweit bekannt."
""Gathered here in a single edition are the three parts of Janet Frames autobiography."--Provided by publisher."@en
"Autobiografisch getint relaas van het leven van een Nieuwzeelands meisje dat overschaduwd wordt door schizofrenie."
"The autobiography of one of New Zealand's best loved writers, with an new introduction by Jane Campion."
"" ... an extraordinarily moving celebration of the life of Janet Frame, New Zealand's most distinguished author, based on her autobiographical trilogy. The film follows Janet through her poor childhood in the Depression and her growing fascination with literature; her painfully shy student days and subsequent treatment for misdiagnosed schizophrenia; and finally in her travels to Europe where she samples Bohemian life and achieves international success as a writer." cover box note."@en
"Un'opera che ha attratto nel tempo milioni di lettori e lettrici, tra le quali la regista Jane Campion che le ha dedicato uno dei suoi film più riusciti. Di che cosa parla, il libroa? Si potrebbe dire che parla di schizo-frenia, ma solo nel senso originario del termine su cui pure ha richiamato l'attenzione Jaspers: la mente scissa in due mondi, in questo caso il mondo della vita e quello dell'arte e dell'espressione. Il mondo della vita è descritto in queste pagine nei suoi capitoli salienti: l'infanzia trascorsa a Dunedin, in Nuova Zelanda, nella povertà degli anni della Depressione; il trasferimento al sud, al seguito del padre ferroviere; i primi colpi che lasciano il segno: l'obesità infantile, la sgraziata adolescenza, la fatalità della morte con la prematura scomparsa della sorella Myrtle, l'orrore dell'ospedale psichiatrico; e poi la fuga, il tentativo di suicidio, il ritorno alla casa paterna. Il mondo dell'arte e dell'espressione vive nella compagnia dei poeti che come un teatro dell'immaginario subentra spesso alla triste scena del mondo reale e restituisce la felicità perduta. Vive, infine, nella prosa stessa di Janet Frame, nella sua mobilità nervosa, nella imprevedibilità delle immagini e dello stile che ne fa una delle più grandi scrittrici del Novecento."
"New Zealand's pre-eminent writer Janet Frame brings the skill of an extraordinary novelist and poet to these vivid and haunting recollections. A childhood and adolscence spent in a poor but intellectualy vibrant railway family."
