전기 및 작가의 여정
Sarah Bakewell, born in Bournemouth in 1963, came to authorship by an unusually indirect route. Her parents, a bookseller and a librarian, took her traveling almost from infancy; she spent part of her childhood in Australia after the family drove there through India, then returned to Europe by way of the Pacific and Southeast Asia. After irregular schooling she studied philosophy at the University of Essex, started a PhD on Martin Heidegger, left it unfinished, worked in a tea-bag factory and in London bookshops, and later completed a postgraduate degree in artificial intelligence. The decisive turn came at the Wellcome Library, where she spent about a decade cataloguing and curating early printed books. ((https://sarahbakewell.com/about/))
