On the one hand, it is an interesting eyewitness account of a kind of ceremony that is now extinct, and thus is an interesting record. On the other hand, there's an oppressive amount of smarm and condescension in the account that makes it rather unpalatable. One gets the impression Waugh was not pleased with the catering, and was expecting London service in the middle of Africa. I'm not sure I'd recommend this, especially to those who rage against imperialism. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Pertenece a las series editorialesPocket Penguins 70s (66) Contenido en
In May 2005 Penguin will publish 70 unique titles to celebrate the company's 70th birthday. The titles in the Pocket Penguins series are emblematic of the renowned breadth of quality of the Penguin list and will hark back to Penguin founder Allen Lane's vision of good books for all'. greatest satirical writers of the twentieth century. In this irreverent personal account of the crowning of the last Emperor of Ethiopia who inspired the Rastafarian religion he makes full use of his comic genius, brilliantly capturing the bureaucracy, lunacy and passion of a country gripped by coronation fever.
