Douglas Wallis (Livres)

Douglas Wallis Livres

George Mikes explore avec un esprit vif et ironique la condition perpétuelle de l'étranger. Il décrit sans détour le sentiment inévitable d'aliénation qui accompagne la vie dans un autre pays, quels que soient les efforts d'assimilation. Ses écrits offrent des observations poignantes sur les différences culturelles qui persistent, même lorsque les cultures semblent se fondre. Avec un humour auto-dépréciatif, il saisit la relation complexe entre lui, un Anglais, et la France, qui le tolère avec une bienveillante gentillesse.

This is the story of the life and times of a fictitious person named Dan William and it is about his experiences growing up, and living in a small farming community located in Western Iowa. It is a story about his trials and tribulations, as well as the good times in his life. It is also a story about relations between people and people's relationships with their maker. The life described in this book is perhaps not that much different from many lives of real individuals, but the purpose of this book is to tell of individual experiences, which are unique to the characters in this book, and hopefully you can relate them to your own experiences. This story is also about the times from the 1940s' until after turn of the century. I hope you enjoy it. Douglas Wallis
