Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Malcolm Bradbury's humorous look at Britain's transition to midcentury modernity After spending a year teaching in an American university in the 1950s, Malcolm Bradbury returned to England only to realize that his native country had become nearly as mystifying to him as the American Midwest. As Britain marched toward a new decade, much of the country was changing inexorably, its agrarian past paved over by suburban developers, its quiet traditionalism replaced by beehive hairdos and shiny, glass-walled office buildings. And so, to confront this curious moment in British history, Bradbury turned to the sharpest tool in his arsenal: humor. In All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go, he writes of a country balancing precariously on the boundary of two worlds, with the wry wit and keenly observant eye that have made him one of the twentieth century's greatest satirists.

Année après année, en y participant massivement, nous témoignons non seulement de notre joie de vivre, mais aussi de notre fierté et de notre volonté de vivre ensemble sur cet immense territoire. Lors de la Fête nationale, nous marquons une pause, une trêve. En fait, c'est comme si tout le peuple québécois prenait le temps de renouer avec ses traditions pour en construire de nouvelles, inspirées des anciennes mais adaptées à la modernité. La Fête nationale, c'est pour plusieurs l'occasion de saluer l'arrivée de l'été; pour d'autres, c'est le moment de rencontrer la famille ou des amis. Pour beaucoup d'entre nous, c'est l'occasion de parler français avec un peu plus de fierté. Pour la majorité, c'est aussi le moment de rêver. C'est un immense privilège pour le Mouvement national des Québécoises et Québécois de coordonner la Fête nationale. L'histoire de la Fête nationale du Québec, c'est aussi l'histoire du Québec. Puisse-t-elle être notre histoire à nous tous, une histoire de gens heureux et fiers, une histoire non pas à dormir debout, mais plutôt une histoire à se tenir debout ! » Chantale Trottier, présidente du Mouvement national des Québécoises et Québécois Le Mouvement national des Québécoises et Québécois (MNQ) regroupe 19 Sociétés nationales et Saint-Jean-Baptiste réparties dans autant de régions du Québec. Son histoire témoigne d'une longue lutte pour l'émancipation nationale du peuple québécois. La Fête nationale du Québec est aujourd'hui coordonnée, chaque année, dans chaque région, par plus de 20 000 personnes passionnées. Étampes de bibliothèque sur page-titre.…
