Unas originales memorias narradas a través de los perros que la autora tuvo a lo largo de su vida.Como deja bien claro Elizabeth von Arnim en estas espléndidas memorias, el amor humano es voluble, y el que brindan los perros a sus amos, inquebrantable. A sus 70 años, Von Arnim pasa revista a maridos, amantes y amigos, pero hace especial hincapié en el retrato de sus perros que, en su opinión, ponen de manifiesto la mezquindad de los hombres. Unas memorias rebosantes de ironía y lucidez en todas sus páginas.

I'm not interested in dogs but this was quite interesting. the library only has 3 of her books. ( )

This book is terrific for animal lovers. Others may find it quaint and sentimental.. I loved it. It is a sort of biography of the author by way of the dogs she's owned. So... one learns that the author was once married to a much older German count. We never know too much about this man, only about the relationship she has with the count's first wife's dog. There is a bit of a pragmatic nature to some of the 14 stories she tells about her dogs. Some of the stories are absolute romances. I promise, a couple of them will make one tear up or even weep. A perfect light read. ( )
