Titre : Angela's ashes : a memoir Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Frank McCourt, Auteur Editeur : New York [USA] : Simon & Schuster Année de publication : 1997 Importance : 459 p. Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 18 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-684-84313-1 Prix : 7,99 USD Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : 3 Culture:3.40 Littérature:Forme et genre littéraire:Journal / Mémoires Mots-clés : récit de vie Index. décimale : 929.2 Histoire des familles célèbres Résumé : "When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I managed to survive at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood."
So begins the luminous memoir of Frank McCourt, born in Depression-era Brooklyn to recent Irish immigrants and raised in the slums of Limerick, Ireland. Frank's mother, Angela, has no money to feed the children since Frank's father Malachy, rarely works, and when he does he drinks his wages. Yet Malachy does nurture in Frank an appetite for the one thing he can provide: a story.
Perhaps it is a story that accounts for Frank's survival. Wearing shoes repaired with tires, begging a pig's head for Christmas dinner, and searching the pubs for his father, Frank endures poverty, near-starvation, and the casual cruelty of relatives and neighbors—yet lives to tell his tale with eloquence, exuberance and remarkable forgiveness.Nature du document : essai Angela's ashes : a memoir [texte imprimé] / Frank McCourt, Auteur . - New York [USA] : Simon & Schuster, 1997 . - 459 p. : couv. ill. en coul. ; 18 cm.

3 Culture:3.40 Littérature:Littérature nationale:Littérature nord-américaineRésumé : Set in Italy during World War II, this is the story of the incomparable, malingering bombardier, Yossarian, a hero who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy—it is his own army, which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to excuse himself from the perilous missions he’s assigned, he’ll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule: a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but if he makes a formal request to be removed from duty, he is proven sane and therefore ineligible to be relieved.
