ISBN: 9780312422257 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Alan Bennett's extraordinary ear for dialogue and sharpness of perception have made him a master storyteller. In "Father Father Burning Bright" he writes with tragicomic insight about a son's vigil at his father's deathbed where their lifelong battle continues to the end. "The Laying on of Hands," a brilliantly funny satire, describes a society memorial service for a rather special masseur who died tragically young; and in "Miss Fozzard Finds her Feet," a lonely, unmarried department store clerk discovers there's more to life than looking after her brother through her only indulgence,...

Zum Tee
ISBN: 9783803133403 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 2021 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. »Der unwiderstehliche Reiz dieser Mini- oder Monodramen liegt vor allem darin, dass die Reden der Figuren immer gleichermaßen viel verdrängen und verbergen, wie sie selbst aussprechen, sodass wir stets herausgefordert sind, uns einen eigenen Reim darauf zu machen. Auch wenn die stärksten Szenen sich zu richtigen Enthüllungsakten steigern, die im Puppenheim die Lebenslüge aufdecken, ist der Tonfall nie moralisierend, sondern hält uns Leser auf Distanz: mehr Loriot als Ibsen.«
Tobias Döring, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung »Der unwiderstehliche Reiz dieser Mini- oder Monodramen liegt vor allem darin, dass die Reden der Figuren immer gleichermaßen viel verdrängen und v...

What would happen if the Queen became a reader of taste and discernment rather than of Dick Francis? The answer is a perfect story. The Uncommon Reader is none other than HM the Queen who drifts accidentally into reading when her corgis stray into a mobile library parked at Buckingham Palace. She reads widely ( JR Ackerley, Jean Genet, Ivy Compton Burnett and the classics) and intelligently. Her reading naturally changes her world view and her relationship with people like the oleaginous prime minister and his repellent advisers. She comes to question the prescribed order of the world...
