Frank McCourt Libri

Siamo negli anni fra le due guerre e le travagliate vicende coinvolgono una famiglia così misera che può guardare dal basso la povertà , fra un padre perennemente ebbro e vociferante contro il mondo, gli inglesi e i protestanti, e una madre che sbrigativamente trascina la sua tribù verso la sopravvivenza. Tutto ci arriva attraverso gli occhi e la voce del protagonista mentre vive le sue avventure. Questo ragazzino indistruttibile, sfrontato, refrattario a ogni sentimentalismo, implacabile osservatore crea con le sue parole un prodigio di comicità e vitalità contagiose, dove tutte le atrocità diventano episodi e apparizioni di un viaggio battuto dal vento verso la terra promessa.
