Описание:
First published in 1977, A Postillion Struck by Lightning is volume one of Dirk Bogarde's best-selling memoirs
Following Bogarde from childhood through adolescence, to the beginnings of his budding career, A Postillion Struck by Lightning is a heartfelt memoir, offering insight into what created the drive and charisma that eventually made him a star. Dreamy, sun-soaked summers full of freedom spent with his younger sister are mixed with holidays in France and rambling the countryside.
Writing plays instead of playing sports, Dirk's talents lay in the creativity of painting and expression rather than in the precision of maths or science, much to the growing concern of his parents. Packed off to live with relatives in Scotland, his father hoped that a proper Scottish education would equip his son to follow in his footsteps for a career in Newspapers.
In Scotland, Dirk learned to defend himself, to sound like a native Glaswegian, and to hide his intense homesickness. In essence; he learned to act.

Описание: Cyd Webster Beacham inspires discussion and evaluation of romantic relationships in a series of short stories involving "legacies of dysfunction". Struck by Lightning and Other Bolts of Reality stories illustrate problems that can occur when baggage from the past is drawn into current relationships. The various couples appear normal on the outside, but are engulfed in trauma and turmoil behind the closed doors of their homes. The characters are narrowly wedged into tunnel vision, where options and choices seem limited, and settling in their circumstances becomes the only answer they can imagine. Each story addresses different stages of relationships from romance, from single people looking for companionship to couples involved in marriage, cohabitation or infidelity. In these stories, characters Roman, Ethel and Neesha are in a triangle that becomes complicated and shakes Roman's spirit. George and Sheila's conflicting motives lead to maddening misunderstandings for them both. Tonya, desperate to have a man, ignores the fact that Lewis has psychotic tendencies. Marsha becomes a caretaker and martyr as Craig's dependent lifestyle threatens to destroy her. Charles and Joan end up in a long-term relationship that is built on a lie but continues in a manner of twisted convenience. Ronald and Tricia find themselves in a rocky, violent relationship based on shallow ideals. Candy recklessly searches for love, and Black and Shareef take the opportunity to satisfy their desires at her expense. Pastor Jetson and Alison are torn by a happenstance meeting and strong attraction. These stories will inspire dialogue in readers as they relate the characters' exploits to their own lives. The stories are based on experiences that many people can identify with, although most people do not want to talk about these kinds of issues. These are stories about everyday people who are working out scenarios in their lives with what they bring to it and what is presented to them. Cyd Webster Beacham has also written and published the novel, HB. HB is a thrill ride into the future where war and devastation has led to inventions that provide an answer to the diminishing populations of men in the world.
