Descriere - The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
One of the BBCs 100 Novels That Shaped Our World
A sublimely funny book ... it is a book to be read by all ... unforgettable and universal Candia McWilliam
Romantic, heroic, comic and tragic, unconventional schoolmistress Jean Brodie has become an iconic figure in post-war fiction. Her glamour, unconventional ideas and manipulative charm hold dangerous sway over her girls at the Marcia Blaine Academy - the creme de la creme - who become the Brodie set, introduced to a privileged world of adult games that they will never forget. Muriel Sparks The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie was adapted into a successful stage play, and later a film directed by Ronald Neame and starring Maggie Smith.
