Antonia Murphy

    Antonia Murphys Schreiben wird durch ihre vielfältigen Erfahrungen als Journalistin und Abenteurerin geprägt. Ihre Essays und Reiseberichte schmücken namhafte Segelpublikationen und spiegeln ein tiefes Engagement für Weltgeschichte und Politik wider, das sie an der Columbia University vertiefte. Murphys unverwechselbare Stimme entsteht aus einem reichen Spektrum an Berufen – von der Puppendesignerin bis zur Yachtköchin –, und ihr Hintergrund in der Vermittlung von Erzählkunst an Kinder verleiht ihren Erzählungen einen besonderen Reiz. Ihre Werke thematisieren oft Abenteuer, Entdeckungen und menschliche Widerstandsfähigkeit, häufig vor dem Hintergrund des Meeres oder ferner Länder, wobei sie ihre Lebenserfahrungen nahtlos in fesselnde literarische Erkundungen einfließen lässt.
