Description
Claudia Hampton lies in a hospital bed, mentally composing "the history of the world and at the same time her own." The famous writer is also a historian, and that is why she reflects both major and minor historical events that shaped her life and the lives of her loved ones in her private account. Above all, she is a strong and independent woman. She spent her childhood in pre-war Britain, worked as a correspondent in Cairo during the war, and earned her place in a purely male discipline: historiography. In the turmoil of war, she found and lost true love, had a brother she adored, a lover she couldn't trust, and gave birth to a daughter she unfortunately couldn't love... Fragments of memories are viewed from her perspective as well as through the contributions of various perspectives from involved characters – and alongside that, it gives the audience the opportunity to report on the environment in which she spends her last days. interpreter: Taťjana Medvecká duration of the recording: 9 hours 36 minutes
