Krátky popis
'Oh Norman,' said the Queen, 'the prime minister doesn't seem to
have read any Hardy. Perhaps you could find him one of our old
paperbacks on his way out.' Had the dogs not taken exception to the
strange van parked in the royal grounds, the Queen might never have
learnt of the Westminster travelling library's weekly visits to the
palace. But finding herself at its steps, she goes up to apologise
for all the yapping and ends up taking out a novel by Ivy
Compton-Burnett, last borrowed in 1989.Duff read though it proves
to be, upbringing demands she finish it and, so as not to appear
rude, she withdraws another. This second, more fortunate choice of
book awakens in Her Majesty a passion for reading so great that her
public duties begin to suffer. And so, as she devours work by
everyone from Hardy to Brookner to Proust to Samuel Beckett, her
equerries conspire to bring the Queen's literary odyssey to a
close.Subversive and highly enjoyable, The Uncommon Reader offers
the perfect argument for reading, written by one of its great
champions, Alan Bennett.
