In and Out of the University and Adversity

Meer over het boek

In In and Out of the University and Adversity, Edward Le Comte abandons the professorial impersonal for a candid and confessional look back from the vista of 84 years and a marriage (to a Czech refugee artist) that has lasted what a miracle these days! fifty-five years.Much of the surrounding book is a mordant critique of the present-day cultural and educational scene. But Le Comtes love of teaching and for his teachers loom large in a book so rich in anecdotes and personalities that it reads like a novel.
