My Dad Was Nearly James Bond - Des Bishop - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

For years acclaimed comedian Des Bishop wanted to write a show about his father. Mike Bishop was a model and actor who gave up that life to become a hard-working man of the suburbs - a good husband, a caring father, a responsible citizen. Still, he sometimes talked wistfully about the glamourous life he might have had. But after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer in late 2009, Mike''s regrets about his fantasy other life crumbled. He cherished his family and they came together to surround him with love, laughter, tears and talk. Lots of talk.The insights that emerged during Mike Bishop''s illness became the show his son always wanted to stage. He and his father collaborated on My Dad Was Nearly James Bond - a hilarious, outrageous and moving celebration of what Des calls ''the heroics of fatherhood''. The show has attracted rave reviews and sell-out audiences around the world.Mike Bishop died in February 2011. Now Des has written a memoir inspired by the stage show, by the startling discoveries he made about his father''s background before he died, and by his own realization of what it means to finally grow up. The book is a funny, wise and unforgettable story of a father, a son and what really matters .

The Real 'Dad's Army' - Rodney Foster - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Real 'Dad's Army' - Rodney Foster - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Rodney Foster''s The Real Dad''s Army is the true-life account of Britain''s Home Guard and now the subject of the new film Dad''s Army (Feb 2016).''Who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler?'' Not Colonel Rodney Foster, a platoon commander of the Kent Home Guard. Dad''s Army , the iconic comedy series is as well-known today as it was forty years ago. But the reality of life in the Home Guard was often very different. Here, for the first time, is the full inside story of the Home Guard, the ragtag volunteer army that defended the coast of Britain from German invasion during the Second World War. Colonel Rodney Foster, who retired to Hythe in the south of England after a military career in British India, joined the Home Guard in 1940 and kept a diary every day - a highly illegal act at the time - and in it meticulously chronicled his service in the real Dad''s Army. He records with a unique wit and wisdom the everyday details of family life during the war: the domestic routine dogged by air raid warnings, the antics of soldiers stationed nearby taking every chance to improve their lot, the quiet strength of a small community faced with great adversity.''It''s magical'' Dan Snow, The One Show ''If you lament the demise of the stiff upper lip, this is the book for you'' Dominic Sandbrook, Evening Standard Shaun Sewell is an avid antique dealer and social historian. Shaun lives and works in Northumberland. Rodney Foster was born in India in 1882 and spent his career in the Indian Army. In his retirement he went with his wife and daughter to live in Saltwood, near Hythe on the Kent coastline. Here in 1940 he enrolled in the Home Guard. He died in 1962.

The Dreadful Monster and its Poor Relations - Julian Hoppit - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Dreadful Monster and its Poor Relations - Julian Hoppit - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''An invaluable primer to some of the underlying tensions behind contemporary political debate'' Financial Times It has always been an important part of British self-image to see the United Kingdom as an ancient, organic and sensibly managed place, in striking contrast to the convulsions of other European countries. Yet, as Julian Hoppit makes clear in this fascinating and surprising book, beneath the complacent surface the United Kingdom has in fact been in a constant, often very tense argument with itself about how it should be run and, most significantly, who should pay for what.The book takes its argument from an eighteenth century cartoon which shows the central state as the ''Dreadful Monster'', gorging itself at the dinner table on all the taxes it can grab. Meanwhile the ''Poor Relations'' - Scotland, Wales and Ireland, both poor because of tax but also poor in the sense of needing special treatment - are viewed in London as an endless ''drain on the state''. With drastically different levels of prosperity, population, industry, agriculture and accessibility between the United Kingdom''s different nations, what is a fair basis for paying for the state?

London Labour and the London Poor - Henry Mayhew - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

London Labour and the London Poor - Henry Mayhew - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

London Labour and the London Poor originated in a series of newspaper articles written by the great journalist Henry Mayhew between 1849 and 1850. A dozen years later, it had grown into the fullest picture we have of labouring people in the world''s greatest city in the nineteenth century: a four volume account of the hopes, customs, grievances and habits of the working-classes that allows them to tell their own stories. Combining practicality with compassion, Mayhew worked unencumbered by political theory and strove solely to report on the lives of the London poor, their occupations and trades. This selection shows how well he succeeded. From costermongers to ex-convicts, from chimney-sweeps to vagrants, the underprivileged of London are uniquely brought to life - their plight expressed through a startling blend of first person accounts, Mayhew''s perceptions, and sharp statistics.

Poor Economics - Abhijit Banerjee - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

FROM THE WINNERS OF THE 2019 NOBEL PRIZE IN ECONOMICS ''Refreshingly original, wonderfully insightful . . . an entirely new perspective'' Guardian Why would a man in Morocco who doesn''t have enough to eat buy a television? Why do the poorest people in India spend 7 percent of their food budget on sugar? Does having lots of children actually make you poorer? This eye-opening book overturns the myths about what it is like to live on very little, revealing the unexpected decisions that millions of people make every day. Looking at some of the most paradoxical aspects of life below the poverty line - why the poor need to borrow in order to save, why incentives that seem effective to us may not be for them, and why, despite being more risk-taking than high financiers, they start businesses but rarely grow them - Banerjee and Duflo offer a new understanding of the surprising way the world really works.

Poor Folk and Other Stories - F. M. Dostoevsky - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Poor Folk and Other Stories - F. M. Dostoevsky - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

With their penetrating psychological insight and their emphasis on human dignity, respect and forgiveness, Dostoyevsky''s early short stories contain the seeds of the themes that came to his major novels. Poor Folk, the author''s first great literary triumph, is the story of a tragic relationship between an impoverished copy clerk and a young seamstress, told through their passionate letters to each other. In The Landlady Dostoyevsky portrays a dreamer hero who is captivated by a curious couple and becomes their lodger. Mr Prokharchin, inspired by a true story, is a sly comedy centring on an eccentric miser, and Polzunkov is a powerful character sketch which, in common with the other tales in this volume, questions the very nature of existence.

He contemplates the ways in which they are informed by the built environment of concrete walls and gentrifying neighbourhoods that form their stage, writes a coded, near-mythical history of the personalities and sagas of his South London youth, and pays tribute to the rappers and artists who spoke to their lives.Above all, this is a tribute to the world that shaped a poet, and to the people forging difficult lives and finding magic within it.
