Descriptions du produit

From AudioFile

The two volumes of this work follow the career of David Powlett-Jones from his discharge as a shell-shocked veteran of World War I through 21 years as master, house master and, finally, headmaster of a less than prestigious English public school. The writing, aided by the excellent narration, makes the characters come alive and leap into the listener's head and heart. All reading and recording techniques are first-class. Rodska gives each of the characters a different voice, including good accent and gender differentiation. The aural portrait of the aging and finally retired headmaster, the Reverend Algernon ("Algy") Herries, is particularly fine. J.D.N.

This bestselling novel that inspired a legendary "Masterpiece Theater" presentation invokes a vivid panorama of English life and history.

I love this book. It has been quite a long time since I've read a book with such depth and realistic characters. The people in this book ARE REAL. I am having trouble putting into words how much I loved this book. It made me laugh and cry, and I was very depressed when I had finished it. If you like Dickens, I think you will enjoy this author's style.
The mini-series is now out on DVD. I will be getting it soon, and it is hard for me to think about much else. I can't wait to see it; eleven hours! Excellent.

5.0�toiles sur 5 I lost an old friend, F�v 4 2004

Par	Marc Albert (WAPPINGERS FALLS, NY USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

Now that I've finished "To Serve Them All My Days" I feel that I've lost an old friend. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, savoring it and rationing my reading so as not to finish it too quickly. A must read for those interested in teaching, education in general, and in understanding children. This story is a study in the trials and tribulations life offers us, and how one person not only overcame these setbacks but also flourished in spite of them. Although I watched and enjoyed the Masterpiece Theatre series on TV in the early 80's I did not really appreciate it then, as I would now if it were to be rebroadcast. I have exhausted all possibilities in trying to obtain a copy of a WGBH tape of this series. If anyone knows how to obtain a tape please let me know. I highly recommend this book.
