Dalla quarta di copertina
'Charming . . . a threnody for a vanished and possibly mythical England' Sebastian Faulks, Sunday Times
Neville Cardus once said there could be no summer in England without cricket.
In That Will Be England Gone, Michael Henderson revisits much-loved places to see how the game he grew up with has changed since the day in 1965 that he saw the great fast bowler Fred Trueman in his pomp. He watches schoolboys at Repton, club cricketers at Ramsbottom, and professionals on the festival grounds of Chesterfield, Cheltenham and Scarborough. The rolling English road takes him to Leicester for T20, to Lord's for the most ceremonial Test match, and to Taunton to watch an old cricketer leave the crease for the last time. He is enchanted at Trent Bridge, surprised at the Oval, and troubled at Old Trafford.
'Cricket,' Henderson says, 'has always been part of my other life.' There are memories of friendships with Ken Dodd, Harold Pinter and Simon Rattle, and the book is coloured throughout by a love of landscape, poetry, paintings and music. As well as reflections on his childhood hero, Farokh Engineer, and other great players, there are digressions on subjects as various as Lancashire comedians, Viennese melancholy and the films of Michael Powell.
Lyrical and elegiac, That Will Be England Gone is a deeply personal tribute to cricket, summer and England.
'A travelogue and a love letter . . . You do not need to love cricket to feel the point' The Times

That Will Be England Gone
Da: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spagna
Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Condizione: Muy bueno. : En 'That Will Be England Gone', Michael Henderson revisita lugares muy queridos para ver cómo ha cambiado el juego con el que creció desde el día de 1965 en que vio al gran lanzador rápido Fred Trueman en su pompa. Observa a los escolares en Repton, a los jugadores de críquet de club en Ramsbottom y a los profesionales en los terrenos del festival de Chesterfield, Cheltenham y Scarborough. El camino inglés rodante lo lleva a Leicester para T20, a Lord's para el partido de prueba más ceremonial y a Taunton para ver a un viejo jugador de críquet dejar el pliegue por última vez. Está encantado en Trent Bridge, sorprendido en el Oval y preocupado en Old Trafford.'El críquet', dice Henderson, 'siempre ha sido parte de mi otra vida'. Hay recuerdos de amistades con Ken Dodd, Harold Pinter y Simon Rattle, y el libro está coloreado a lo largo de un amor por el paisaje, la poesía, la pintura y la música. Además de las reflexiones sobre su héroe de la infancia, Farokh Engineer, y otros grandes jugadores, hay digresiones sobre temas tan variados como los comediantes de Lancashire, la melancolía vienesa y las películas de Michael Powell.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 'For those who fear the worst for the sport they love, this is like cool, clear water for a man dying of thirst. It's barnstorming, coruscating stuff, and as fine a book about the game as you'll read for years' Mail on Sunday 'Charming . . . a threnody for a vanished and possibly mythical England' Sebastian Faulks, Sunday Times 'Lyrical . . . [Henderson's] pen is filled with the romantic spirit of the great Neville Cardus . . . This book is an extended love letter, a beautifully written one, to a world that he is desperate to keep alive for others to discover and share. Not just his love of cricket, either, but of poetry and classical music and fine cinema' The Times 'To those who love both cricket and the context in which it is played, the book is rather wonderful, and moving' Daily Telegraph 'Philip Larkin's line 'that will be England gone' is the premise of this fascinating book which is about music, literature, poetry and architecture as well as cricket. Henderson is that rare bird, a reporter with a fine grasp of time and place, but also a stylist of enviable quality and perception' Michael Parkinson Neville Cardus once said there could be no summer in England without cricket. The 2019 season was supposed to be the greatest summer of cricket ever seen in England. There was a World Cup, followed by five Test matches against Australia in the latest engagement of sport's oldest rivalry. It was also the last season of county cricket before the introduction in 2020 of a new tournament, The Hundred, designed to attract an audience of younger people who have no interest in the summer game. In That Will Be England Gone, Michael Henderson revisits much-loved places to see how the game he grew up with has changed since the day in 1965 that he saw the great fast bowler Fred Trueman in his pomp. He watches schoolboys at Repton, club cricketers at Ramsbottom, and professionals on the festival grounds of Chesterfield, Cheltenham and Scarborough. The rolling English road takes him to Leicester for T20, to Lord's for the most ceremonial Test match, and to Taunton to watch an old cricketer leave the crease for the last time. He is enchanted at Trent Bridge, surprised at the Oval, and troubled at Old Trafford. 'Cricket,' Henderson says, 'has always been part of my other life.' There are memories of friendships with Ken Dodd, Harold Pinter and Simon Rattle, and the book is coloured throughout by a love of landscape, poetry, paintings and music. As well as reflections on his childhood hero, Farokh Engineer, and other great players, there are digressions on subjects as various as Lancashire comedians, Viennese melancholy and the fil. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR011407969
