Sobre este artículo
This non-fiction book captures the essence of life in Akenfield, a small agricultural community in East Anglia, about 90 miles from London. While pages are clean, there is light staining visible on edge of pages when book is closed. Previous owner's book plate on frontice page.
Sinopsis
This colourful, perceptive portrayal of English country life reverberates with the voices of the village inhabitants, from the reminiscences of survivors of the Great War evoking days gone by, to the concerns of a younger generation of farm-workers and the fascinating and personal recollections of, among others, the local schoolteacher, doctor, blacksmith, saddler, district nurse and magistrate. Providing insights into farming, education, welfare, class, religion and death, Akenfield forms a unique document of a way of life that has, in many ways, disappeared.
