The Lady in the Van

The Lady in the Van

Alan Bennett

Profile Books Ltd
1999
nidottu
Alan Bennett is the author of Writing Home, The Madness of George III, Talking Heads, The Clothes They Stood Up In and much else besides. Miss Shepherd lived in a Robin Reliant opposite Bennett's house in Camden Town. After a series of attacks on her van, he suggested she move, with her van, to his front drive. Initially reluctant, she agreed - and Bennett landed himself a tenancy that went on for fifteen years. The Lady in the Van is probably Alan Bennett's best-known work of non-fiction, and follows his other little blockbuster The Clothes They Stood Up In.

Four Stories

Four Stories

Like everything Bennett does, these stories are playful, witty and painfully observant of ordinary people's foibles. They all have brilliant twists, are immensely entertaining and highly moral. And all are modern classics. The Laying on of Hands The painfully observant account of a memorial service for a masseur to the famous. The Clothes They Stood Up In The comic tale of an elderly couple's trials after their flat is stripped completely bare. Father! Father! Burning Bright The savage satire on the family of a dying man who rules over them from his hospital bed. The Lady in the Van The true story of the eccentric old woman who is invited to live in a homeowner's front garden. She stays there, in her van, for fifteen years. The home is Alan Bennett's. It became a West End hit and a major film, starring Maggie Smith.

Drottningen vänder blad

Drottningen vänder blad

Alan Bennett

Ordfront Förlag
2010
pokkari
Om det inte varit för de olydiga hundarna så skulle den engelska drottningen förmodligen aldrig ha upptäckt bokbussen. Drottningen stiger på den slitna kommunala bussen som står parkerad vid Westminister Palaces köksregioner för att be om ursäkt för sin skällande hund och av artighet lånar hon en av böckerna från hyllorna. Det visar sig dock vara en omåttligt torr och tråkig roman, men drottningen läser pliktskyldigt ut den, lämnar tillbaka den och återvänder till slottet med en ny bok i väskan. Den här gången får bokvalet förödande konsekvenser. Boken i fråga väcker nämligen Hennes Majestäts passion för läsning. En passion som växer sig så stark att hennes officiella plikter snart blir lidande. Och medan drottningen förlustar sig med världslitteraturen så konspirerar hennes undersåtar om hur Hennes Majestäts litterära utsvävningar ska få ett slut. Med skarp humor och mycken värme beskriver Alan Bennett en högst ovanlig läsares öde. Drottningen vänder blad är en underhållande och underfundig bok om hur böcker berikar livet.

Kaikki on koirien syytä. Ilman niitä kuningatar tuskin olisi seonnut kaunokirjallisuuteen. Hänen Majesteettinsa tulee lainanneeksi kirjastoautosta ensin yhden romaanin, sitten toisen, ja pian hän ahmii kirjoja intohimolla, joka saa koko hovin pois tolaltaan. Kuningattaren lähipiiri pääministeriä myöten saa nimittäin huomata, että kirjallisuus on räjähdysherkkää tavaraa - kirjaimellisesti. Lopulta vaakalaudalla on koko kuningaskunnan tulevaisuus.

The Clothes They Stood Up In

The Clothes They Stood Up In

Alan Bennett

BBC Physical Audio
2001
cd
The Ransomes had been burgled. 'Robbed,' Mrs Ransome said. 'Burgled,' Mr Ransome corrected. Premises were burgled; persons were robbed. Mr Ransome was a solicitor by profession and thought words mattered... The fact is that the Ransomes have been cleaned out. Everything has gone, even the toilet paper; and for the stuffy solicitor and his downtrodden wife it marks a turning point, a kind of liberation. Nothing will ever be quite the same, even when their possessions mysteriously turn up again, exactly as they left them... Sad and funny, poignant and perceptive, this is Bennett at his brilliant best. 2 CDs. 2 hrs 20 mins.

Enough Said

Enough Said

Alan Bennett

Profile Books Ltd
2026
sidottu
20 September. Have a notion for a radio series - Awkward Conversations. Enough Said is Alan Bennett's fourth collection of diaries and prose. Covering the turbulent years 2016 to 2024, the diaries take us through lockdown, Brexit, the reign of Johnson, the rise of Trump and the death of the Queen. In between, we take the train with him back and forth to Yorkshire, celebrate the herons, the newts and the street fairs, and lament the scarcity of curlews, the closure of the last local bank and the deteriorating welfare state. There is the premiere of Allelujah!, the revived Talking Heads, the publication of two Sunday Times bestsellers and the filming of The Choral. 2024 is the year that Alan turns ninety; he reflects on old age and the importance of luck. He looks back to childhood and recalls an idyllic wartime month as an evacuee. A book for the bedside, this is poignant, funny, contemplative Alan Bennett, as he records life both personal and political in his most distinct of voices.
