Notes: | from the novel by Robin Jenkins | |||||
Synopsis: | Robin Jenkins' 1979 novel Fergus Lamont is a wonderfully eccentric rags-to-riches story that speaks powerfully about the peculiarities of the class system and the events of the early 20th century. It echoes the story of Pip in Great Expectations, but in Jenkins' book, the hero sets out to claim the noble heritage he believes he deserves as the illegitimate son of a Scottish earl. Despite his lowly background, he wears a kilt and prefers to be known as Wrgus Corse-Lamont. Distancing friends and family, he reinvents himself as one of the gentry, outdoing his officer class in his patrician attitudes. Only his uncharacteristic gift for poetry gives vent to his humanitarian heart. It takes the failure of his hubristic scheme for him to reconnect to the people he has denied. | |||||

Notes: | from the diaries of Zlata Filipovic | |||||
Synopsis: | "The first 20 minutes are banal. That's deliberate. It's all trips to the country, woodwork lessons and piano practice for Zlata Filipovic, 10, and her middle-class family in sunny Sarajevo. Her everyday enthusiasms, for Michael Jackson and the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, make it all the more poignant when the shells and sniper fire descend on her city. This is a vision of war as a robber of childhood. Filipovic's diary was first published in 1993 and became an international best-seller. Thanks to her French publisher, it was her passport out of Bosnia-Herzegovina. ", Guardian | |||||
