评分有句话是说当你排除万难开始做一件事,全世界都会来帮你。不知事实是否如此,但想要全世界来帮你的前提是要拥有一颗坚毅的心,不管在追寻梦想的路上走向了哪条叉路,最终都能回到正道上来。 19岁的迈考特只身随船来到纽约,人生地不熟,怀踹“美国梦”,开始人生的...
评分原本是把这本书当成关于第一代移民的书来看的,更多关注的是文化宗教的冲突,但读完后发现其实并不尽然。这只是一个人的故事,每个人都是一段传奇,弗兰克讲出来了。我并不喜欢他苦大仇深地叙述着美国人有多不知足,爱尔兰人承受了多少的苦难,大多数人更愿意看到的还是苦难中...
评分but this is the third book of his I read, and although the rhythm is still there and the little dark cloud over his head still touches me, but it's far less powerful a book than "Angela's Ashes". Interesting to read though. And I can't help but wonder, what...

<CENTER>FROM THE PULIZER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ANGELA'S ASHES</CENTER>
Frank McCourt's glorious childhood memoir, Angela's Ashes, has been loved and celebrated by readers everywhere. It won the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Los Angeles Times Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Rarely has a book so swiftly found its place on the literary landscape.
And now we have 'Tis, the story of Frank's American journey from impoverished immigrant to brilliant teacher and raconteur. Frank lands in New York at age nineteen and gets a job at the Biltmore Hotel, where he immediately encounters the vivid hierarchies of this "classless country," and then is drafted into the army and is sent to Germany to train dogs and type reports. It is Frank's incomparable voice that renders these experiences spellbinding.
When Frank returns to America in 1953, he works on the docks, always resisting what everyone tells him. He knows that he should be getting an education, and though he left school at fourteen, he talks his way into New York University. There, he falls in love with the quintessential Yankee and tries to live his dream. But it is not until he starts to teach that Frank finds his place in the world.
