PAGES OF LIFE - ANGELIKA SISKA KARTONIERT (TB)

The author has kept a diary of her daily activities for a year  often interspersed with
memories and retrospection. This is the backdrop to a fascinating insight into her life 
structured by her annual travels from the Allgaeu in Germany via Iceland and Kentucky to her
winter residence in the Bahamas and then onwards to the North German Coast in the spring. The
book is also a family portrait starting with the consequences of the First World War and
leading to the present day. The diary offers descriptions of the painter's artistic process as
well as impressions of nature and landscape from Kentucky  the Bahamas  Iceland and the other
places the author inhabits throughout the year. It tells about important friendships and family
relationships that are kept alive despite long distances. The author shares her thoughts on the
politics of the day as well as historical background of the different countries visited. This
includes  for example  the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland  which her daughter
witnessed from her kitchen window. Presented in an enjoyable way  all these experiences 
contemporary and past alike  result in a rich image of family history and  last but not least 
provide a segment of German history.
