God bless America

von ,

This book, containing memoirs written chiefly in German, covers the eventful and sometimes historical stages between 1937 and 1968. The journey takes you from wartime Germany, the Nazi cadet school Oranienstein, studies in Frankfurt to lecturing at McGill in Montreal, Columbia University in New York, and the AmericanUniversity of Beirut.
Carolyn’s informative English diaries, starting with the Manhattan experience, acutely relate school and personal problems on all levels. Worthwhile and interesting reading. Informative with regard to university teaching and education in general.

Der überwiegend deutsche Text von Horst Weber (Part One), findet spannende Ergänzung durch Carols englische Tagebücher (Part Two). Detailreichtum und die britische Sicht von Personen und Ereignissen machen auch diesen Teil des Buches zur fesselnden Lektüre.
