Fabulous illustration. I just wanted to nestle in and live in this book for awhile! ( ) Cartoonist Raymond Briggs tells the story of his parents’ marriage in this sweet graphic novel. His parents met in 1928, when his father was a milkman and his mother was a lady’s maid. Together they weathered the changes of the mid-20th century, including the rise of Hitler, World War II, post-war rationing, and the introduction of modern conveniences like refrigerators and television. Raymond was their much-doted-on only child. I think his parents would have been pleased with this loving tribute to their quiet lives. Puede que ningún autor haya sabido hablar de su vida como lo hizo Raymond Briggs. Y su vida, él lo sabía, era imposible de contar sin la de sus padres. Esta biografía emotiva, con toques de ingenuidad y candidez geniales, recorre la historia del matrimonio Briggs, desde que se saludan por primera vez a través de una ventana hasta su fallecimiento. Pero es también la historia de una generación, la que vivió la Segunda Guerra Mundial y temió el avance fascista; la que vio nacer el estado de bienestar y tuvo que inventarle un hueco al televisor en su sala de estar. Un libro maravilloso sobre el amor y la búsqueda de la prosperidad; y el homenaje más bello, más conmovedor, de un hijo a sus padres. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Utterly original, deeply moving and very funny, Ethel & Ernest is the story of Raymond Brigg`s parents' marriage, from their first chance encounter to their deaths told in Brigg`s unique strip-cartoon format. Nothing is invented, nothing embroidered - this is the reality of two decent, ordinary lives of two people who, as Briggs tells the story, become representative of us all. The book is also social history; we see the dark days of the Second World War, the birth of the Welfare State, the advent of television and all the changes which were so exhilarating and bewildering for Ethel and Ernest. A marvellous, life-enhancing book for all ages. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
