Die Hunde sind schuld. Beim Spaziergang mit der Queen rennen sie los, um den allwöchentlich in einem der Palasthöfe parkenden Bücherbus der Bezirksbibliothek anzukläffen. »Ma'am« ist zu gut erzogen, um sich nicht bei dem Bibliothekar zu entschuldigen, leiht sich ebenfalls aus Höflichkeit ein Buch aus - und kommt auf den Geschmack. Von da an deckt sie sich jede Woche mit Lesestoff ein. Sir Kevin, Privatsekretär der königlichen Hoheit, ist »not ...

Seine Liebe zu Büchern entdeckte Alan Bennett früh. Im Gefolge von Dr. Doolittle begann er in der Armley Public Library in Leeds diesem Hobby ausgiebig zu frönen, obwohl seine Mutter Bücher aus der Bibliothek als unhygienisch empfand. Bis heute liest Bennett gerne ausgeliehene Bücher und erfreut sich an hineingekritzelten Kommentaren. Seine eigenen Lektüreeindrücke, akkurat vermerkt in seinen detaillierten Tagebüchern, zeugen von seiner wilden...

Mancava un po' a tutti, l'intrattabile Miss Shepherd. Ai moltissimi lettori della "Signora nel furgone", naturalmente. Ma soprattutto al suo riluttante e devoto biografo, Alan Bennett, che come si poteva immaginare ha colto al volo la proposta del regista Nicholas Hytner: scrivere un film che avrebbe visto Maggie Smith nel ruolo della protagonista. Dal lavoro sul film è nato poi questo libro, che oltre al testo originale e alla sceneggiatura c...

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve ...

Una serie monologhi scritti per la televisione, trasmessi dalla BBC nel 1987 e affidati all'interpretazione di grandi attrici inglesi, da Julie Walters a Maggie Smith. La comicità di Bennett si sprigiona solitamente da situazioni apparentemente dimesse, ma in questa occasione è andato molto oltre, strappando il massimo di ilarità a un pretesto, anche scenico, ridotto al minimo. E pur essendo, di fatto, una forma a sé, questi monologhi costitui...

Alan Bennett verbringt seit seinem ersten Schulausflug im Jahre 1957 viel Zeit in Museen. Völlig unvoreingenommen und ohne falsche Scheu lässt er seine Gedanken bei der Bildbetrachtung frei schweifen und hat dabei manch einen überraschenden Geistesblitz. Selbst Autoritäten wie Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Bellini, Cranach, Vermeer oder Hockney entgehen seiner exzentrischen Bilderstürmerei nicht ? kein Mythos, der ihn aufhalten würde. B...
