Beschreibung

Englische Literatur in Reclams Roter Reihe: das ist der englische Originaltext - mit Worterklärungen am Fuß jeder Seite, Nachwort und Literaturhinweisen.Mit der Comedy-Serie »Fawlty Towers« gelang John Cleese und seiner Exfrau ein Erfolg, der den von »Monty Python's Flying Circus« gelegentlich noch übertraf. Was Mr. Basil Fawlty, der komisch-unausstehliche Hotelbesitzer, seine Frau und das Personal mit den bedauernswerten Gästen anstellen, rührt bis heute ein Millionenpublikum zu Tränen. Die drei Episoden - »The Germans«, »Communication Problems«, »Basil the Rat« - gehören zu den absoluten Highlights der Serie.Englische Lektüre: Niveau B2-C1 (GER)Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch

Rezensionen

Fans of Cleese´s comedy series Fawlty Towers will enjoy the texts of three classic episodes: "The Germans", "Communication Problems" and "Basil the Rat". Of course, reading a play is never as satisfying as seeing it performed, and Cleese´s maniacal antics cannot be reproduced on paper. Even so, I frequently found myself laughing out loud. "The Germans", which first appeared in 1975, was seen as unsuitable for German audiences because of its references to the Second World War. It has only recently been dubbed into German and has rarely been seen here in its original version. Spotlight
