/ Bill Bryson / Black Swan (2001)
Título : | Down under | Tipo de documento: | texto impreso | Autores: | Bill Bryson, Autor | Editorial: | Black Swan | Fecha de publicación: | 2001 | Número de páginas: | 463 p. | Dimensiones: | 20 cm. | ISBN/ISSN/DL: | 978-0-552-99703-4 | Nota general: | 'As funny as ever' Daily Telegraph | Idioma : | Inglés (eng) | Clasificación: | Inglés:Literatura:Lecturas originales:Cultura. Civilización. Sociedad
| Clasificación: | ING(N) BOY boy Novelas en Inglés | Resumen: | It is the driest, flattest, hottest, most desiccated, infertile and climatically aggressive of all the inhabited continents and still Australia teems with life – a large portion of it quite deadly. In fact, Australia has more things that can kill you in a very nasty way than anywhere else.
Ignoring such dangers – and yet curiously obsessed by them – Bill Bryson journeyed to Australia and promptly fell in love with the country. And who can blame him? The people are cheerful, extrovert, quick-witted and unfailingly obliging: their cities are safe and clean and nearly always built on water; the food is excellent; the beer is cold and the sun nearly always shines. Life doesn’t get much better than this… |

'A gold mine of language, anecdote, information, curiosity. A surprise on every page... enthralling' Observer | Idioma : | Inglés (eng) | Clasificación: | Inglés:Literatura:Lecturas originales:Cultura. Civilización. Sociedad
| Clasificación: | ING(N) BOY boy Novelas en Inglés | Resumen: | With dazzling wit and astonishing insight, Bill Bryson--the acclaimed author of The Lost Continent--brilliantly explores the remarkable history, eccentricities, resilience and sheer fun of the English language. From the first descent of the larynx into the throat (why you can talk but your dog can't), to the fine lost art of swearing, Bryson tells the fascinating, often uproarious story of an inadequate, second-rate tongue of peasants that developed into one of the world's largest growth industries. |

/ Bill Bryson / Black Swan (2015)
Título : | Notes from a small island | Tipo de documento: | texto impreso | Autores: | Bill Bryson, Autor | Editorial: | Black Swan | Fecha de publicación: | 2015 | Número de páginas: | 378 p. | Dimensiones: | 20 cm. | ISBN/ISSN/DL: | 978-1-7841-6119-4 | Nota general: | 'Laugh-out-loud' Observer | Idioma : | Inglés (eng) | Clasificación: | Inglés:Literatura:Lecturas originales:Narrativa. Novela:Adultos
| Clasificación: | ING(N) BOY boy Novelas en Inglés | Resumen: | After nearly two decades spent on British soil, Bill Bryson - bestselling author of The Mother Tongue and Made in America-decided to return to the United States. ("I had recently read," Bryson writes, "that 3.7 million Americans believed that they had been abducted by aliens at one time or another, so it was clear that my people needed me.") But before departing, he set out on a grand farewell tour of the green and kindly island that had so long been his home.
Veering from the ludicrous to the endearing and back again, Notes from a Small Island is a delightfully irreverent jaunt around the unparalleled floating nation that has produced zebra crossings, Shakespeare, Twiggie Winkie's Farm, and places with names like Farleigh Wallop and Titsey. The result is an uproarious social commentary that conveys the true glory of Britain, from the satiric pen of an unapologetic Anglophile. |
