Title: English: A Story of Marmite, Queuing and Weather

Author: Ben Fogle

Narrator: Rupert Farley

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:17:00

Language: English

Release date: 10-05-17

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Non-Fiction, Social Science

Summary:

What makes the English English? Is it their eccentricity, their passionate love (or, indeed, hatred) of Marmite or is it something less easily defined?

Beginning at the top of a muddy Gloucestershire slope at the Coopers Hill cheese-rolling contest and traversing a landscape of lawns and queues, coastlines and sporting arenas, Ben Fogle takes us on a journey through the peculiarly English: a country of wax jackets, cricket, boat races and jellied eels, by way of national treasures such as the shipping forecast, fish and chips and the Wellington boot. Not to mention the Dunkirk spirit of relentless optimism in the face of adversity, be it the heroic failure of Captain Scotts doomed Antarctic expedition, or simply the perennial hope for better weather.

The archetypal Englishman lover of labradors and Land Rovers yet holder of two passports Ben applauds all things quintessentially English while also paying tribute to the history, culture and ideas adopted with such gusto that they have become part of the fabric of the country. Written with Bens trademark warmth and wit, this is a light-hearted yet touching tribute to all things English.

In New Chicago, Diegos middle school hallways buzz with kids from all eras of history and from cultures all over the world. The pieces do not always fit together neatly, but this is the world he loves.

There are those, however, who do not share his affection. On his thirteenth birthday, Diego learns of a special gift he has, a secret that is part of something much bigger. When his father, New Chicagos top engineer, is taken by the Aeternum, Diego must rescue him and prevent this evil group from disrupting the fragile peace humanity has forged.

Am 31. Oktober 1517, was ein Samstag war, hat Martin Luther in Wittenberg seine Thesen angeschlagen, vermutlich ohne zu ahnen, was er da lostritt. Nun ist aus viel Wut und einem Stück Papier 'ein ganzer Glaube' geworden, was unsereinen vom 'normalen Glauben' mehr fuchst, als wir zugeben. Es ist Zeit, endlich mal ein offenes Wort miteinander zu wechseln und die Abtrünnigen darauf hinzuweisen, was sie an uns alles verloren haben: das fängt bei der Beichte an und hört bei den Reliquien auf, die 'der Protestant' nicht hat. Ein Programm über die Höhen und Tiefen der Konfession
