Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. A wry, intelligent, and unputdownable look at class and national identity today.Alberto Prunetti arrives in the UK, the twenty-something-year-old son of a Tuscan factory worker who has never left home before. With only broken English, his wits, and an obsession with the work of George Orwell to guide him, he sets about looking for a job and navigating his new home.In between long, hot shifts in pizzerias and cleaning toilets up and down the country, he finds his place among the British precariat. His comrades form a polyglot underclass, among them an ex-addict cook, a cleaner in love with opera, an elderly Shakespearean actor, Turks impersonating Neapolitans to serve pizzas, and a cast of petty criminals 'resting' between bigger jobs.Stuck between a past haunted by Thatcher and a future dominated by Brexit, Down and Out in England and Italy is a hilarious and poignant snapshot of life on the margins in modern-day Britain.

paperback. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. ¿Adónde van los obreros cuando mueren? Renato Prunetti, al infierno, desde luego, por malhablado. Renato fue un soldador de las grandes siderurgias del norte de Italia, fallecido a causa del amianto. Pero no lo busquéis en el cielo. Su nuevo puesto es el de encargado de mantenimiento de las calderas del averno. Allí lo encontraréis, negociando el convenio con el Todopoderoso, dando esquinazo a Dante Alighieri, que lo persigue en busca de inspiración para su Divi- na Comedia, y tramando la rebelión de los condenados junto a su compadre, Steve McQueen. Mientras tanto, Francesca, su viuda, que abandonó su empleo para dedicarse a cuidar de los suyos, no quiere que escriban sobre ella. Considera demasiado poca cosa la vida que le ha tocado vivir, a pesar de que sobre sus hombros recayeran la casa y los críos, jornadas interminables y escaso reconocimiento. Le preocupa más la situación laboral de su hijo y que convierta en una consentida a su nieta, Elettra. Tras Amianto y 108 metros, Alberto Prunetti cul- mina su Trilogía Working Class con esta dantesca comedia obrera, en la que reivindica la pervivencia y la universalidad de la clase trabajadora. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Renato creció después de la guerra y comenzó a trabajar a los catorce años derritiendo electrodos en miles de chispas de fuego a pocos pasos de tanques de petróleo gigantes. Respiró zinc y plomo hasta que una fibra de asbesto llegó a su pecho. Treinta años más tarde, su hijo Alberto, que pasó su infancia en la calle frente a la olvidada siderurgia Ilva en la ciudad de Follonica, reconstruye la historia laboral y judicial de Renato, luchando por el reconocimiento del asbesto como causa de su muerte. «Amianto» ?Premio Especial del Jurado Grotte della Gurfa y Premio al Mejor Escritor toscano del año en 2013? forma parte de un proyecto de trilogía narrativa sobre la clase trabajadora que está cosechando un gran éxito en Italia. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Un viejo cocinero paranoico sacado de una novela de aventuras, una limpiadora de retretes enamorada de la ópera y un anciano actor shakespeareano, junto a un grupo de jóvenes ayudantes que se dedican a dar pequeños palos para animar su miserable existencia. Este es el elenco con el que comparte vida, peripecias y trabajo un italiano emigrado a Inglaterra en los años 90. Los hijos de la clase trabajadora fueron a la universidad para descubrir que la estabilidad laboral se había esfumado con las jubilaciones de sus padres y que a ellos les esperaba la precariedad y la emigración. En 108 metros se habla de fuga de cerebros, pero también de limpieza de baños en Bristol, de platos fregados en un comedor de Dorset o de una falsa una pizzería de turcos que se hacen pasar por napolitanos. De fondo, el Brexit y una clase trabajadora empobrecida que busca su propio orgullo. Entre peleas, cervezas y fútbol, los personajes de antiguas novelas de Salgari se reencarnan en las cocinas del otro lado del Canal mientras el fantasma de Margaret Thatcher persigue al protagonista. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
