Klappentext

Autobiography of Addison Mizner, the esteemed and celebrated architect of Palm Beach. Born into an extraordinary family clan, Addison enjoyed the exploits of his early years before distinguishing himself as a remarkable figure of his time. This memoir reveals his early life in affluent, late nineteenth century California, his experiences in central America and his more adventurous times as a gold prospector in the Yukon. After further travels in Hawaii, Addison ends up in Australia and China before arriving in New York and reentering the life he was born to. Throughout his life, wherever he found himself, Mizner shows his eye for detail and flair for design and architecture. In the touching last chapter, Mizner details the hilarious last month's of his mother's life and realizes what it means to be a Mizner.
