Motherhood : Vintage Minis (Vintage Classics)

Welcome to motherhood - a land of aching fatigue, constant self-sacrifice and thankless servitude, a land of bottomless devotion, small hands and feet like warm pink roses, and velvet kisses. Here is a land where men and women, once carefree and engrossed in work and sex, now try to solve age-old arguments and search fruitlessly for another hour in the day. Perhaps you know this land well, or perhaps you're entering it for the first time - either way, you need these honest, sharply funny, humane stories from an expert guide.Selected from Helen Simpson's short story collections Dear George, Hey Yeah Right, Get a Life, and Constitutional. VINTAGE MINIS: GREAT MINDS. BIG IDEAS.LITTLE BOOKS. A series of short books by the world's greatest writers on the experiences that make us human. Also in the Vintage Minis series: Language by Xiaolu Guo; Fatherhood by Karl Ove; Knausgaard Eating by Nigella Lawson; and, Drinking by John Cheever.

Bine ati venit la maternitate - un tinut de oboseala dureroasa, sacrificiu constant de sine si servitute nerecunoscatoare, un tinut al devotiunii fara fund, maini si picioare mici ca trandafirii roz calzi si saruturi de catifea. Iata un tinut in care barbatii si femeile, odata lipsiti de griji si implicati in munca si sex, incearca acum sa rezolve argumentele vechi si cauta fara rezultat inca o ora din zi.
