Wo Sex noch tabu war, der Sperrbezirk sich noch mitten in München befand und wo es Sex noch nicht im Internet zu entdecken gab.

Prima carte a lui George Orwell, Fara un sfant prin Paris si prin Londra este o relatare emotionanta si foarte detaliata a celor citiva ani de saracie autoimpusa prin care a trecut scriitorul dupa ce s-a intors din Birmania.

The mockery invented by Philip’s father, because he was badminton-mad and useless (said father) at all else, lingered with him through school in Malaysia. It travelled with him on an Aeroflot to England in 1970, aged 18, functioning on adrenaline. It stuck through his navigation of parochial middle England—washing backsides in a mental hospital, law practice, sports, and professional and personal relationships.

When George Alagiah was dropped off at a Hampshire boarding school as a child back in 1967, he was confronted with an extreme version of the private struggle faced by all immigrants: the battle to leave the past behind and fit into a new culture. His arrival in Britain coincided with the unhappy intrusion of race into politics. A key part of the ensuing fight against racism was the concept of multiculturalism.
