Add to basketCloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Reprint. Hardcover. Hancock's Last Stand. Price clipped to D/J. Foreword by June Whitfield. In 1968, Edward Joffe was chosen to direct and produce a TV series in Australia: not so much a comeback as a last chance for Hancock. Hancock lived with Joffe for those last three months and, for the first time, Joffe tells the full story; the flashes of comic genius and friendship; the moments of despair, the technical and financical battles; the desperate attempts to keep Hancock sober, and the final agony of the suicide notes, preduced here in full, along with a wealth of previously unpublished photographs, other exculsive material, and the complete script of Hancock's last programme. This book is at the same time a tragtic story and a celebration of a great comic talent. Illustrated. 219 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. Academic and Scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Educational Reference Literature.).

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Loved and loving, indulged, even downright spoilt and at the heartof a migrant family whose forebears had sought a haven and livelihoodin South Africa in the late 19th century, Edward Joffe's memoir of hisJohannesburg up-bringing is not only a happy romp through the travailsand adventures of childhood to adulthood but also a vivid window on20th century life in a country of dramatic and often bitter contrasts.Acutely drawn characters people Eddie's early life - from the bodybuildingAsh to the London Cockney Gran with her Boer War memoriesfrom Aunt Minnie decorating every available surface with shells to theMarist Brothers College where the teachers are 'a cast of charactersfrom some down market theatrical farce.'There are happy times playing in the storeroom of Eddie's - hisfather's successful greengrocer's - and on Jo'burg's koppies. There's aRichmal Crompton 'Just William' aura about Eddie and his chums.College and University life opens up a new seam of adventuresexual and commercial - hilarious at times and poignant at others.A student tour of post-war Europe is so evocative of an era that thispassage could stand alone as a record of its time.Again Eddie's real talent for characterisation and description is tothe fore. Not certain of a career path he dabbles in being an art dealer, ajewellery salesman, an advertising agent.As a soundman he producedwedding recordings then goes on an Africa-wide adventure as writer/ director with an eccentric fi lm producer and here a possible futurecareer comes into view.However, there is a very moving and serious side to this story asEddie becomes increasingly aware of the gulf - savagely enforced bylegislation and a zealous police force - between the black, coloured andwhite populations. The blatant injustice of it all becomes so intolerableto him that, with his new bride, he heads for Britain, delighted also tohave escaped from, and outwitted, his new father-in-law.Evelyn Hood.
