A unique and anarchic blend of autobiography with moral, political and personal reflections. Eagleton was born in Salford in 1943, the grandchild of Irish immigrant labourers; his impoverished childhood seems centred on the life of a convent of enclosed nuns; Eagleton was one of few working-class students at Cambridge in the 1960s and was made the youngest Fellow there since the 18th century; he is now Thomas Warton Professor of English at Oxford. His memoir recounts the most comic and moving moments of his life, connecting these episodes with thoughts about God, evil, suffering and tragedy.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. This memoir blends autobiography with moral, political and cultural reflections. Thoughts about god, evil, suffering, death and tragedy are interwoven with comic or moving scenes from Eagleton's life: his bizarre experiences as a young altar server in a convent of enclosed nuns; his precarious career in 1960s Cambridge as one of the few working-class students among a set of public school boys; and his abortive experience of life in a seminary. Eagleton was brought up in Salford in a working-class Catholic family and is now Thomas Warton Professor of English at the University of Oxford. His book discloses the more personal, spiritual side of a well-known cultural thinker; mixing the serious with the hilarious, life with ideas, the personal with the political. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Nº de ref. del artículo: GOR001264788
