- Summary:
-
"Johanna Schopenhauer was the mother of the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, but nothing could be further from the pessimism of her son's philosophy than the vivacity of her writing. She was an indefatigable traveller, one of a succession of women, from Lady Mary Wortley Montagu in Johanna's own century to Freya Stark in our own, who have been imbued with qualities of perception rarely found in their male equivalents."--Dust jacket gate fold.
