Brit-think, Ameri-think: A Transatlantic Survival Guide
Автор: Jane Walmsley Жанр: Penguin Group Год: 2003 Страниц: 144 Дата загрузки: 19 февраля 20092008-08-11
|
|
Jane Walmsley shares George Bernard Shaw's belief that America and Britain are two nations divided by a common language. In this title she looks beyond this shared facade to see the great gulfs that separate us in such areas as tastes in food, dress, home decoration, the way we conduct business, vacation, engage in sex and even die. Her prototype American is an eternal optimist who believes it is only a matter of correct technique and will power to become beautiful, clever, skinny, successful and healthy. A Brit, on the other hand, seems to expect disaster at any moment, so lives with a certain detachment, content to muddle through as best he or she can. Walmsley pokes gentle (and sometimes not so gentle) fun at both cultures and in the process offers a portrait of our cultural differences.

Michael Quinion's «Why is Q Always Followed By U?» is full of surprising discoveries, entertaining quotations and memorable information. There are plenty of colourful stories out there, but Michael Quinion will help you discover the truth that lies behind the cock-and-bull stories and make sure you're always linguistically on the ball.»

My Family and Other Animals

«'What we all need', said Larry, 'is sunshine... a country where we can grow'. 'Yes, dear, that would be nice', agreed Mother, not really listening. 'I had a letter from George this morning — he says Corfu's wonderful. Why don't we pack up and go to Greece?'. 'Very well, dear, if you like', said Mother unguardedly. Escaping the ills of the British climate, the Durrell family — acne-ridden Margo, gun-toting Leslie, bookworm Lawrence and budding naturalist Gerry, along with their long suffering mother and Roger the dog — take off for the island of Corfu. But the Durrells find that, reluctantly, they must share their various villas with a menagerie of local fauna — among them scorpions, geckos, toads, bats and butterflies. Recounted with immense humour and charm, «My Family and Other Animals» is a wonderful account of a rare, magical childhood.»
