Antonia Murphy

    Antonia Murphy je autorkou, ktorej písanie čerpá z bohatých skúseností novinárky a dobrodružnej cestovateľky. Jej poviedky, eseje a cestopisy sa objavili v popredných námorných publikáciách, čo odráža jej hlboký záujem o svetové dejiny a politiku, ktoré študovala na Kolumbijskej univerzite. Jej literárny hlas je formovaný rozmanitými profesiami, od návrhárky bábik po šéfkuchárku na jachtách, a jej schopnosť rozprávať príbehy pre deti obohacuje jej jedinečný štýl. Murphyová často skúma témy dobrodružstva, objavovania a ľudskej odolnosti, často s námorným alebo cestovateľským prvkom, ktorý spája jej životné zážitky s jej literárnou tvorbou.
