Harry Thompson Libri

    Harry Thompson si affermò come un talento letterario poliedrico, noto per i suoi acuti contributi alla commedia, alla biografia e alla narrativa. Il suo vasto background nella produzione radiofonica e televisiva gli permise di coltivare e lanciare numerose carriere comiche di spicco, plasmando in modo significativo l'umorismo britannico contemporaneo. L'unica novel di Thompson, un'opera storica, ottenne il plauso della critica e fu nella longlist per il Booker Prize, dimostrando la sua abilità nel creare narrazioni avvincenti radicate nel passato. Oltre alla narrativa, si dedicò a studi biografici e scrisse un avvincente resoconto di una spedizione sportiva unica, dimostrando un'ampia portata letteraria e un acuto occhio osservatore.

      The 15th anniversary edition of a brilliant, action-packed and gripping novel of Charles Darwin's voyage on the Beagle - longlisted for the Man Booker Prize. New introduction from Daisy Goodwin. 'A master storyteller' Sunday Times In 1831 Charles Darwin set off in HMS Beagle under the command of Captain Robert Fitzroy on a voyage that would change the world. This is the story of a deep friendship between two men, and the twin obsessions that tear them apart, leading one to triumph, and the other to disaster. 'An outstandingly good first novel. A page-turning action-adventure combined with subtle intellectual arguments. The meticulous research enriches this fascinating tale' Sunday Telegraph

      'Completely brilliant' Ian Hislop It seemed a simple enough idea at the outset: to assemble a team of eleven men to play cricket on each of the seven continents of the globe. Except - hold on a minute - that's not a simple idea at all. And when you throw in incompetent airline officials, amorous Argentine Colonels' wives, cunning Bajan drug dealers, gay Australian waiters, overzealous American anti-terrorist police, idiot Welshmen dressed as Santa Claus, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and whole armies of pitch-invading Antarctic penguins, you quickly arrive at a whole lot more than you bargained for. Harry Thompson's hilarious book tells the story of one of those great idiotic enterprises that only an Englishman could have dreamed up, and only a bunch of Englishmen could possibly have wished to carry out.
