Product Description
In this inimitable, beloved classic&#8212;graceful, lucid and lyrical&#8212;Anne Morrow Lindbergh shares her meditations on youth and age; love and marriage; peace, solitude and contentment as she set them down during a brief vacation by the sea. Drawing inspiration from the shells on the shore, Lindbergh&#8217;s musings on the shape of a woman&#8217;s life bring new understanding to both men and women at any stage of life. A mother of five, an acclaimed writer and a pioneering aviator, Lindbergh casts an unsentimental eye on the trappings of modernity that threaten to overwhelm us: the time-saving gadgets that complicate rather than simplify, the multiple commitments that take us from our families. And by recording her thoughts during a brief escape from everyday demands, she helps readers find a space for contemplation and creativity within their own lives.<br><br>With great wisdom and insight Lindbergh describes the shifting shapes of relationships and marriage, presenting a vision of life as it is lived in an enduring and evolving partnership. A groundbreaking, best-selling work when it was originally published in 1955, Gift from the Sea continues to be discovered by new generations of readers. With a new introduction by Lindbergh&#8217;s daughter Reeve, this fiftieth-anniversary edition will give those who are revisiting the book and those who are coming upon it for the first time fresh insight into the life of this remarkable woman.<br><br>The sea and the beach are elements that have been woven throughout Anne Morrow Lindbergh&#8217;s life. She spent her childhood summers with her family on a Maine island. After her marriage toCharles Lindbergh in 1929, she accompanied him on his survey flights around the North Atlantic to launch the first transoceanic airlines. The Lindberghs eventually established a permanent home on the Connecticut coast, where they lived quietly, wrote books and raised their family.<br><br>After the children left home for lives of their own, the Lindberghs traveled extensively to Africa and the Pacific for environmental research. For <br>several years they lived on the island of Maui in Hawaii, where Charles Lindbergh died in 1974. <br><br>Anne Morrow Lindbergh spent her final years in her Connecticut home, continuing her writing projects and enjoying visits from her children and grand-children. She died on February 7, 2001, at the age <br>of ninety-four.<br><br>Reeve Lindbergh is the author of many books for both adults and children, including the memoirs Under a Wing and No More Words.
