Angela's Christmas

release date: Sep 17, 2019
Angela's Christmas
The inspiration for the Emmy-nominated film and its companion Angela’s Christmas Wish, now streaming on Netflix! Pulitzer Prize recipient Frank McCourt shares the story of his mother’s childhood Christmas in this tender and heartwarming picture book, previously published as Angela and the Baby Jesus. Angela is six-years-old and worries for the baby Jesus on the altar of St. Joseph’s church in Limerick. December nights are damp and cold, and the church is dark at night. How can the baby Jesus’ mother leave him in the manger without even a blanket to cover him? The baby Jesus surely needs Angela’s help, even if she is not allowed to go on the altar, especially by herself. Filled with the characters, incident, and detail that have made Frank McCourt internationally renowned and beloved, Angela’s Christmas is a timeless story of real life—in all of its joy, innocence, and incongruity. A story for all generations to enjoy and cherish.

Ehi, prof!

release date: Apr 01, 2014
Ehi, prof!
Negli anni Cinquanta, i cieli delle città americane (e anche gli schermi dei relativi cinema) pullulavano di oggetti volanti non identificati. L’oggetto che il primo giorno di scuola attraversa il cielo della classe, sotto gli occhi attoniti del professor Frank McCourt, è invece identificabilissimo – in un panino che l’immancabile mamma italiana ha farcito, a beneficio del suo pupo, con peperoni, cipolla, formaggio fuso e mortadella. Se la prima inquadratura del libro risulta quantomeno inattesa, l’epilogo della sequenza, col professore che raccoglie il panino e lo mangia lentamente davanti alla scolaresca annichilita, è destinato a restare. E a farci vivere il clima delle trentatremila ore di lezione (cifre dell’autore) che McCourt terrà nei tre decenni successivi, in varie scuole – tecniche e non – sparse fra Brooklyn, Manhattan e Staten Island. Per ragioni di spazio non tutti i dodicimila rissosi e pestiferi studenti di McCourt compaiono qui – ma la loro fragorosa presenza, filtrata dalla psiche sovraesposta del docente, ci assale e ci delizia. E se i lettori delle "Ceneri di Angela" e di "Che paese, l’America" sanno già cosa aspettarsi da McCourt in termini di sarcasmo, empatia e comicità allo stato puro, quelli di "Ehi, prof!" scopriranno come i tre elementi possano fondersi a caldo in un genere completamente nuovo, che difficilmente troverà, in futuro, epigoni all’altezza.

Che paese, l'America

release date: Jan 14, 2014
Che paese, l'America
Dopo averci raccontato, nelle "Ceneri di Angela", la sua infanzia «infelice, irlandese e cattolica» come il più atroce e ilare dei mondi possibili, McCourt ci trasporta qui nell’America del secondo dopoguerra. E precisamente in una New York proletaria, dove fra case di mattoni rossi, pub di emigrati irlandesi e banchine ingombre di merci, con la quinta lontana e irraggiungibile di Manhattan, Frankie si trova a percorrere, passo dopo passo, un faticosissimo apprendistato. Ma prodigiosamente intatto è il suo timbro inconfondibile, e la capacità di trasformare qualsiasi fatto in una irresistibile storia.

Le vicende di una famiglia irlandese negli anni tra le due guerre narrate da un protagonista giovane e sfrontato, che osserva il miserrimo mondo circostante con occhio attento e spietato.

Ja så menn
Frank McCourt er nå tilbake med en oppfølger til "Engelen på det sjuende trinn" fra 1997 om oppveksten i Irland. Den nye boken handler om McCourts voksne liv i Amerika. Med stor varme og innlevelse skildres hans ankomst til"det forjettede land" som fattig nittenåring, hans mangslungne karriere som blant annet hotelltjener, bryggesjauer, soldat og engelsklærer, i tillegg til de utroligste historier om prester, puber, damer og amerikansk dobbeltmoral. I velkjent stil, med en blanding av høy komikk og skarpt alvor, gir McCourt et dypt personlig portrett av sitt møte med det amerikanske samfunnet.

The Spanish edition of the #1 New York Times bestseller, TIS is the story of Frank's American journey from impoverished immigrant with rotten teeth, infected eyes, and no formal education to brilliant raconteur and schoolteacher. Saved first by a straying priest, then by the Democratic party, then by the United States Army, then by New York University-- which admitted him on a trial basis, though he had no high school diploma-- Frank had the same vulnerable but invincible spirit at nineteen that he had at eight, and still has today. And TIS is a tale of survival as vivid, harrowing, and often hilarious as ANGELA'S ASHES. Yet again, it is through the power of storytelling that Frank finds a life for himself. TIS blesses readers with another chapter of McCourt's story, but as it closes, they will want still more.
