Book Description
This small book tells the story of a big adventure. Two old ladies seeking a challenge in life as it shortens, set out to walk the South West Coast Path from start to finish. Against convention, they planned to sleep out under the stars for the most part of the journey instead of the usual tent or bed and breakfast accommodation. They used bivvy bags, umbrellas and a tarpaulin for shelter from the elements. Stumbling along, carrying huge rucksacks, they had many experiences including sleeping with slugs, enduring gales and downpours, seeing shooting stars and meeting tramps, hippies and celebrities. Join them on their journey and see what can be achieved as you approach your dotage!

Italian Neighbors
Author: Tim Parks
Publisher: Grove/Atlantic, Inc.
ISBN: 0802191150
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year: A deliciously entertaining account of expatriate life in a small village just outside Verona, Italy. Tim Parks is anything but a gentleman in Verona. So after ten years of living with his Italian wife, Rita, in a typical provincial Italian neighborhood, the novelist found that he had inadvertently collected a gallery full of splendid characters. In this wittily observed account, Parks introduces readers to his home town, with a statue of the Virgin at one end of the street, a derelict bottle factory at the other, and a wealth of exotic flora and fauna in between. Via Colombare, the village’s main street, offers an exemplary hodgepodge of all that is new and old in the bel paese, a point of collision between invading suburbia and diehard peasant tradition. It is a world of creeping vines, stuccoed walls, shotguns, security cameras, hypochondria, and expensive sports cars. More than a mere travelogue, Italian Neighbors is a vivid portrait of the real Italy and a compelling story of how even the most foreign people and places gradually assume the familiarity of home. “One of the most delightful travelogues imaginable . . . so vivid, so packed with delectable details.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review

Doing Pragmatics
Author: Peter Grundy
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000696405
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
Doing Pragmatics is a popular reader-friendly introduction to pragmatics. Embracing the comprehensive and engaging style which characterized the previous editions, this fourth edition has been fully revised. Doing Pragmatics extends beyond theory to promote an applied understanding of empirical data and provides students with the opportunity to ‘do’ pragmatics themselves. A distinctive feature of this textbook is that virtually all the examples are taken from real world uses of language which reflect the emergent nature of communicative interaction. Peter Grundy consolidates the strengths of the original version, reinforcing its unique combination of theory and practice with new theory, exercises and up-to-date real data and examples. This book provides the ideal foundation for all those studying pragmatics within English language, linguistics and ELT/ TESOL.
