Sinossi
Clinging to the Wreckage is the first part of John Mortimer's acclaimed autobiography. Here he recounts his solitary childhood in the English countryside, with affectionate portraits of his remote parents - an increasingly unconventional barrister father, whose blindness must never be mentioned, battling earwigs in the mutinous garden, and a vague and endlessly patient mother. As a boy dreaming of a tap-dancing career on the stage and forming a one-boy communist cell at boarding school, his father pushes him to pursue the law, where Mortimer embarks on the career that was to inspire his hilarious and immortal literary creations.
Told with great humour and touching honesty, this is a magnificent achievement by one of Britain's best-loved writers.

Clinging to the Wreckage
Da: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spagna
Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Condizione: Muy bueno. : Clinging to the Wreckage es la primera parte de la aclamada autobiografía de John Mortimer. En este libro, relata su infancia solitaria en la campiña inglesa, con retratos afectuosos de sus padres: un padre abogado cada vez más poco convencional, cuya ceguera nunca debe mencionarse, luchando contra los gusanos en el jardín amotinado, y una madre vaga e infinitamente paciente. De niño, soñando con una carrera de claqué en el escenario y formando una célula comunista de un solo hombre en el internado, su padre lo empuja a seguir la carrera de derecho, donde Mortimer se embarca en la carrera que inspiraría sus hilarantes e inmortales creaciones literarias. Contada con gran humor y conmovedora honestidad, esta es una magnífica obra de uno de los escritores más queridos de Gran Bretaña.
