A headmaster obsessed with results; a history teacher who thinks he`s a fool. This work provokes questions about history and how you teach it; and about education and its purpose.

Описание: Features none other than HM the Queen who drifts accidentally into reading when her corgis stray into a mobile library parked at Buckingham Palace. Her reading naturally changes her world view and her relationship with people like the oleaginous prime minister and his repellent advisers. The consequence is surprising, mildly shocking and funny.

Описание: Like everything Bennett does, these stories are playful, witty and painfully observant of ordinary people`s foibles. They all have brilliant twists, are immensely entertaining and highly moral. And all are modern classics. The Laying on of Hands The painfully observant account of a memorial service for a masseur to the famous. The Clothes They Stood Up In The comic tale of an elderly couple`s trials after their flat is stripped completely bare. Father! Father! Burning Bright The savage satire on the family of a dying man who rules over them from his hospital bed. The Lady in the Van The true story of the eccentric old woman who is invited to live in a homeowner`s front garden. She stays there, in her van, for fifteen years. The home is Alan Bennett`s. It became a West End hit, starring Maggie Smith.

Описание: Alan Bennett`s `A Life Like Other People`s` is a poignant family memoir offering a portrait of his parents` marriage and recalling his Leeds childhood, Christmases with Grandma Peel, and the lives, loves and deaths of his unforgettable aunties Kathleen and Myra. Bennett`s powerful account of his mother`s descent into depression and later dementia comes hand in hand with the uncovering of a long-held tragic secret. A heartrending and at times irresistibly funny work of autobiography by one of the best-loved English writers alive today.
