Third of the Molesworth books; I suspect the humour was already dated in 1976. Though maybe not all of it: “‘Reality,’ sa molesworth 2, ‘is so unspeakably sordid it make me shudder’.” ( ) This book looks like a children's book, but it isn't, really. Native English-speaking teenagers can probably read it, and they might enjoy it, but it is more likely written for adults. This book requires an English grammar school background to fully appreciate the humour, not just because of the language but particularly the English school culture. Therefore the book will probably be difficult for Chinese readers to fully understand and enjoy. Even I was surprised to see that this book was first published in 1956. It demonstrates that the type of humour of Monty Python, Mr Bean, The Diary of Adrian Mole and Harry Potter has a long tradition. The third book in the Molesworth series of satires on English boarding school life. Superb ink cartoons by Ronald Searle Chapters include: How to be a young Elizabethan school life through history school life in the future guide to girls, and life in girls' schools all about horse-racing the Molesworth Master Meter school holidays at home life after school: careers. All very amusing, though not quite as good as the first 2 books. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

With one mad yell the mob, armed with stumps and bits torn from desks, surge away down the pasage, trampling the masters under foot. A buket of water fall on GRIMES and the term end in a series of wizard rags and japes. Cars arrive, driven by parents with drawn, white faces. Nigel Molesworth is dragging St. Custard's into the 20th century in the company of 'felow pupils, their doting maters, pompous paters and any others who are interested', via the Elizabethans and the Wild West. Most importantly, he has some important lessons in how to treat Girls, what to do with a tee-vee, what a holiday will really involve, and how to survive the uranium age that is sure to hit any time now. 'There is just so much more to Molesworth than meets the juvenile eye . . . I am delighted to have encountered the post-St Trinians brainchild of Willans and Searle' Guardian 'Gloriously disaffected' Tom Holland Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
