Commentaires clientsCommentaires clients les plus utiles0 internautes sur 0 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile. MéditationPar CustomerThe Woman of Andros est un récit envoûtant. L'auteur traite d'un aspect quelque peu tragique de la condition humaine : chacun désire une vie heureuse et pourtant se laisse facilement entraîner vers ce qu'il ne désire pas. On assiste impuissant à la déchéance. Est-ce inéluctable ? A relire et à méditer.

His Bridge of San Luis Rey, one of seven novels, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1928, as did two of his four full-length dramas, Our Town (1938) and The Skin of Our Teeth (1943). Wilder's The Matchmaker was adapted as the musical Hello, Dolly!. He also enjoyed enormous success with many other forms of the written and spoken word, among them teaching, acting, the opera, and films. (His screenplay for Hitchcock's Shadow of Doubt [1943] remains a classic psycho-thriller to this day.) Wilder's many honors include the Gold Medal for Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the National Book Committee's Medal for Literature.
