Audrey Hepburn, An Elegant Spirit: A Son Remembers

It’s a wonderful book written with love, respect, and tenderness. There are many professional photos along with family ones. It is a book about Her and not only her. It’s also about wars, children dying of hunger, and our responsibility for all this. I recommend this book for everyone because her life is teaching us how to be loving, strong, and be able to feel compassion for people in needs.

The copy I read had, sadly, pages missing. This is a son talking about his famous mother's life, it isn't in depth but it reflects on her life and how she loved and was loved and how much she cared about children and her work with UNICEF. He caught me and made me feel glad to have spend some time with them both. Features a lot of pictures of the family.

There are a lot of photographs and they range from professional to personal, occasionally the text is interrupted a bit too much by photographs.

Audrey Hepburn as viewed through the loving eyes of her son, Sean Ferrer. While the book is full of pictures by many famous photographers, as well as family photos, the subject matter is her impact as a mother, friend and humanitarian. She is represented as the gentle loving woman she portrayed in many of her movies. Despite being world famous, she was without pride and counted the love of family, friends, and those in need as her true essence.

There are such beautiful full page photos in this book and some touching pieces. I'm tempted to take photos out of it and frame them but so far I haven't been able to bring myself to do it. Audrey Hepburn truly was a classic beauty inside and out and this book shows that. I think I'll always admire her.

A lovely, worthy look, full of photos and anecdotes, of an incredibly elegant woman.

This became a 5 * and a favorite for me.

The title is perfect "An Elegant Spirit"

A touching memorial, unprecedented..........
Nearly 300 photos and documents included.

I loved it!

Deslumbró a millones de personas como Gigi, Eliza Doolittle o Holly Golightly, pero para el fan que más la adoraba, su mejor papel fue el de madre. En este sentido homenaje, Sean Hepburn Ferrer ofrece una singular e íntima visión de una de las estrellas más brillantes de Hollywood. Un relato muy personal, acompañado por abundante material privado, como cuadros y dibujos hechos por la propia actriz, y una asombrosa recopilación de casi trescientas fotografías, muchas inéditas y extraídas del álbum familiar. Sean nos presenta así la esencia de su madre: un ser cuya elegancia, encanto y belleza sólo fueron igualados por su inseguridad, y que usó su merecido reconocimiento en favor de los niños menos afortunados. Con esta show more excepcional biografía, Sean loa la historia y humanidad de su madre, y prosigue su caritativa labor donando los beneficios de este libro al Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund. show less
