In "Inglese in 21 giorni" abbiamo scoperto che imparare una lingua non è né lungo né faticoso se applichi il metodo giusto, ma anzi ti diverti e ottieni risultati immediati e duraturi, memorizzi facilmente vocaboli e regole, parli fin dal primo giorno. Con questo secondo manuale farai un salto di qualità che ti sembrerà impensabile. Una delle difficoltà più grandi per noi italiani è la pronuncia, dovuta a una fonetica molto diversa. E il problema della pronuncia si ripercuote anche nella comprensione delle parole e del senso delle frasi. Per non parlare del fatto che in ogni Paese anglofono si incontrano accenti, slang, modi di dire diversi. Preparati a vivere un giro del mondo in 21 giorni in compagnia di Rebecca, la protagonista di questo libro, alla scoperta dell'inglese, delle differenze tra gli accenti, i modi di dire, le curiosità dei vari Paesi - e sono tanti - dove si parla questa lingua. Rebecca ti accompagnerà in situazioni divertenti ma del tutto realistiche, che ti insegneranno a evitare malintesi, figuracce, incidenti diplomatici, drammi professionali e amorosi! Con le tecniche di memorizzazione del metodo Your Magister, grazie alla consulenza di super esperti madrelingua e alle strategie applicate dai poliglotti, questo libro cambierà la tua padronanza dell'inglese e ti farà sentire a casa in ogni angolo del mondo.

About the author

Gébé, or Georges Blondeaux (1929-2004), has been a fixture of the French press since 1960. He was best known as a cartoonist, but also author, lyricist, screenwriter, and dramatist, a maker of short films and photo-novels, beloved editor and nurturer of new talent. From 1970-85, he was editor in chief of Charlie Hebdo. He returned when the weekly was reborn in 1992, and served as editorial director until his death.

Edward Gauvin has translated more than a hundred and fifty graphic novels, including Blutch's Peplum (NYR Comics) and is a two-time winner of the John Dryden Translation Competition. He is the contributing editor for Francophone comics at Words Without Borders.

Summary

A haunting and darkly funny post-apocalyptic graphic novel that follows an unusual postal worker on his very bizarre mail route.

In the blasted ruins of what was once a picture-perfect suburb, nothing stirs -- except the postman. Clad in a hazmat suit and mounted on a bicycle, he is still delivering the mail, nuclear apocalypse or no nuclear apocalypse. One family has taken refuge in an underground fallout shelter, and to them he brings -- or, rather, shouts through the air vent -- a series of odd, anonymous letters. They describe the family's prosperous past life, and then begin to get stranger....

This pioneering graphic novel was created in 1981 by famed French cartoonist Gébé, a longtime contributor to Charlie Hebdo, and has never before been available in English. Letter to Survivors is a black-hearted delight, at once a witty metafictional game of stories within stories and a scathing, urgent send-up of consumerist excess and nuclear peril: funnier, and scarier, than ever.
