A propos de cet article

Included is a letter from the author to a Liverpool Judge/Q.C. / Hawkins, traces his formative experiences at school in 1920s Liverpool. One of the foremost figures in language teaching, describes his "journey into language" through a series of key professional - and often moving - episodes drawn from the sweep of 20th century European history, encompassing the Spanish Civil War, the rise of Nazism, World War in Europe and North Africa, and the bridge-building that followed. In the first of these episodes, Hawkins finds himself in republican Spain listening to the poet Federico Garcia Lorca perform with his travelling theatre company at the newly-formed International University. He develops not only a love of language learning, but of language itself as a defining charactersitic of our humanity. / With illustrations. This is a 1st edition paperback, in good condition-the spine&cover is a little creased. (288 pages & 8 pages of introduction & 8 pages of illustrations).
