Harry Thompson Livres

Harry Thompson s'est imposé comme un talent littéraire polyvalent, connu pour ses contributions perspicaces à la comédie, à la biographie et à l'écriture de romans. Sa vaste expérience dans la production radiophonique et télévisuelle lui a permis de nourrir et de lancer de nombreuses carrières comiques de premier plan, façonnant ainsi de manière significative l'humour britannique contemporain. L'unique roman de Thompson, une œuvre historique, a été acclamé par la critique et figuration sur la liste préliminaire du Booker Prize, démontrant sa capacité à créer des récits captivants ancrés dans le passé. Au-delà de la fiction, il s'est consacré à des études biographiques et a écrit un récit captivant d'une expédition sportive unique, faisant preuve d'une large portée littéraire et d'un œil observateur aiguisé.

The 15th anniversary edition of a brilliant, action-packed and gripping novel of Charles Darwin's voyage on the Beagle - longlisted for the Man Booker Prize. New introduction from Daisy Goodwin. 'A master storyteller' Sunday Times In 1831 Charles Darwin set off in HMS Beagle under the command of Captain Robert Fitzroy on a voyage that would change the world. This is the story of a deep friendship between two men, and the twin obsessions that tear them apart, leading one to triumph, and the other to disaster. 'An outstandingly good first novel.

'Completely brilliant' Ian Hislop It seemed a simple enough idea at the outset: to assemble a team of eleven men to play cricket on each of the seven continents of the globe. Except - hold on a minute - that's not a simple idea at all. And when you throw in incompetent airline officials, amorous Argentine Colonels' wives, cunning Bajan drug dealers, gay Australian waiters, overzealous American anti-terrorist police, idiot Welshmen dressed as Santa Claus, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and whole armies of pitch-invading Antarctic penguins, you quickly arrive at a whole lot more than you bargained for. Harry Thompson's hilarious book tells the story of one of those great idiotic enterprises that only an Englishman could have dreamed up, and only a bunch of Englishmen could possibly have wished to carry out.
