The Queen and I: Sue Townsend

Product Information

The reason why this lost a star from me is because I found the ending to be somewhat weak and disappointing. I had suspected that it may turn out that way but I was really hoping that it wouldn't. The ending took some of the shine off what had been a really enjoyable read up to that point. If it had ended differently, I may well have given it a 5 star rating. Karalienė“ - prabangus, išsamus, subtilus ir ikoniškas Karalienės Elžbietos II literatūrinis paveikslas, sudarytas iš išsamių, informatyvių teksto eilučių, citatų ir kūrybiško M. Dennison gebėjimo vesti skaitytoją portreto potėpiais. Tai - nepagrąžintas, objektyvus, bibliografiniais duomenimis paremtas pasakojimas, kuriame nesistengiama „vynioti žodžių į vatą“ ir pateikti tik to, kas per šimtmetį maloniai nuskambėjo viešumoje, kas džiugino ir ausis, ir akis. Čia papasakota absoliučiai viskas - kas buvo ir šviesu, ir tamsu monarchės gyvenime, kas ją džiugino, ir kas pykdė ar skaudino, ką ji darė gerai, o kada jos elgesys buvo ne toks tikslus, nepriimtinas. Atvirumas, nuoseklumas ir kryptingas minčių dėliojimas, dar negirdėtos, bet svariai argumentuotos detalės ir faktai, nuotraukos - visa, kas pabrėžia šios biografijos išskirtinumą ir vertingumą nūdienoje, kai Elžbietos II jau nebėra, bet jos autoritetas lyg oras - vis dar tarp mūsų. Kad ir kaip kai kurie mėgtų kritikuoti žmones, turinčius daug pinigų ir turtų, tenka pripažinti, kad kartais įdomu ne tik apie juos paskaityti, bet ir pamatyti, iš ko toks gyvenimas sudarytas iš tiesų (dažniausiai tik išorė būna tobulybės ikona), o kūrinys „Karalienė“ tą tikslingai parodo. „Karalienė“ - įtaigus pasakojimas, tikrų deimantų šešėlyje parodantis, kaip neretai paprasta juos supainioti su dirbtiniais, nieko vertais.

Visų pirma, šioje karalienės biografijoje net nebuvo idėtas šeimos medis. Iš pradžių net sunkiai susigaudžiau apie ką skaitau, kuri čia giminės eilė, kieno čia tėvai ir proprodėdės. Kitas dalykas buvo apverktinas nuotraukų kiekis. Jų labai mažai. Buvo daug atvejų, kai autorius pasakoja ir net analizuoja nuotrauką, bet skaitytojui ji neparodoma. In Hellebore Close (aptly known as "Hell Close" to its longtime residents), the new home of the Royal Family, they learn to cope with the normal day of ordinary people. The Queen – now called Mrs. Windsor – is not allowed to take all her beloved corgis to her new home in "Hell Close", with only Harris with her, and Charles learning that horses cannot be kept in a council house garden. Loosely plotted and reading more like a over-long comedy skit than a novel, I'm afraid Queen Camilla failed to raise so much as a smile but then humour is very much subjective. No other author could imagine this so graphically, demolish the institution so wittily and yet leave the family with its human dignity intact' The Times A full to bursting of detail book,the author firstly needs credit for his work,I have rarely read such a fact laden book about anyone,it is fascinating and the book basically takes you from birth onwards and misses nothingOk, I don't care about character development, plot feasibility, or anything thing else because this book made me FEEL GOOD. However, the characters ARE well-developed and the plot, while admittedly unrealistic, was an interesting concept and was done with respect to both the monarchy and the working class. Veteran actress Heather Mitchell, 65, opens up about her health battle as she launches new Stan Christmas film Painfully shy, Elizabeth Windsor’s personality was well suited to her youthful ambition of living quietly in the country, raising a family, and caring for her dogs and horses. But when her uncle, King Edward VIII, abdicated, she became heir to the throne—embarking on a journey that would test her as a woman and queen.

The Queen’s Patronages and charities covered a wide range of initiatives, from creating opportunities for young people, to preserving wildlife and the environment. As Royal Patron or President Her Majesty provided vital publicity for the work of these organisations, and allowed their enormous contributions to society to be recognised. Recognising achievement across the Commonwealth Neil Morrissey reveals his regret over Amanda Holden fling which led to her divorce from TV's Les Dennis: 'Don't f*** a gameshow host's wife' The England painted in the book is run by a political party with totalitarian tendencies. People who have transgressed in the smallest ways are taken away from society. Even those who haven't done anything wrong, except made questionable personal lifestyle choices are in these horrid exclusion zones. For most of her working life, The Queen was supported by The Duke of Edinburgh who accompanied her on visits in the UK and overseas, and was by her side for all of her ceremonial duties, from the State Opening of Parliament to State Visits and annual Remembrance events.Was durch die Konstruktion der Story wie eine aufgelegte Steilvorlage für Situationskomik, Wortwitz, absurde Integrationsgeschichtln, und britische Ironie zu sein scheint, ist leider nur mäßig witzig. Mir ist schleierhaft, wie man solche Vorteile nicht besser nutzen konnte. Auch wird die königliche Familie einfach viel zu wenig durch den Kakao gezogen, fast schon nett, viel zu schmeichelhaft und integrationswillig werden sie beschrieben. Eigentlich würden sie ja mit ihrem gruseligen Weltbild und ihrem Snobismus viel mehr auf Konfrontationskurs mit einer "normalen" Umgebung abonniert sein und gleichzeitig mit Ihrem grausigen Humor und ihrer Obszönität perfekt in das Floddersche Universum der Sozialhilfeempfänger passen. Soviel habe ich von Heathcote Williams in seinem Buch The Royal Babylon gelernt, der bei weitem nicht so devot mit Königs umgegangen ist und dadurch ein weitaus witzigeres Buch geschrieben hat. Lee Christmas, one of the Christmas brother's and cellmate of Prince Charles. Brother to Craig, Wayne, Darren, Barry, Mario and Engelbert. It will be biased because I ADORE Sue Townsend and everything she writes. I will read and re-read the Adrian Mole series until the day I die. It's just how it is. Ir dar man labai norėjosi daugiau pasakojimų apie jos susitikimus su ministrais pirmininkais - tikrai tikėjausi, kad čia tikrai bus daugiau apie tai parašyta, ypač apie Čerčilio įtaką jai.
