WINNER OF THE 1976 BOOKER PRIZE''If you are looking for an intellectual and artistic honesty, a patient thoughtfulness and detailed insight into other lives...this novel will delight and move you'' Guardian In spite of his brilliance, Colin Saville doesn''t fit in easily at the grammar school in town - 1940s middle-class society is so different from the mining village of his childhood. He makes tentative friendships and meets girls over long, empty summers but feels like an outsider with them and, increasingly, at home. Following the pattern of David Storey’s own early years, Saville is a remarkably honest portrait of the tensions between parents and children, the difficulties of making one’s own way in life, and the social divisions that persist still.

Známý duchovní autor vycházející z liberálního židovství a vlastních životních zkušeností, kdy mu na nevyléčitelnou nemoc zemřel dospívající syn, se v této knize zabývá tématem krize středního věku. Za průvodce mu slouží biblická postava Kazatele, který v půli svého života bilancuje. Dosáhl všech hmotných statků, zažil úspěch, bohatství, požitky, pak se dokonce obrátil na duchovní cestu, poznal důkladně i tu – a přesto má pocit marnosti a prázdnoty. Kushner svým typicky realistickým způsobem, který je ale plný empatie a moudrosti, píše o ošidnostech bezhlavé honby za úspěchem a majetkem, obrací pozornost k tomu, co dělá život skutečně smysluplným, a vede člověka k vnitřní zralosti. Autor uvádí: „Tato kniha není o tom, jak být šťastný nebo jak být populární. Na to je spousta jiných knih. Je o tom, jak být úspěšný, ale ne v tom smyslu, jak jej používá většina lidí. Protože jde o to, jak být lidský, jak žít s pocitem, že jste víc než mol, který žije jen pro jeden moment a pak mizí. Jde o to, jak vědět, že jste žili, jak mají lidské bytosti žít, že jste svůj život nepromrhali. Je to kniha o tom, jak dát svému životu smysl, pocit, že jste využili svůj čas na ...

The end of the twentieth century is shaping up as a period of volatile change and transition. As governments the world over work to sustain public policy and develop much needed policy initiatives, there is an increasing need for better budgetary management and sound evaluation of both past and prospective policies. Budgeting, Auditing, Evaluating presents in-depth, comparative examinations of budgetary processes in seven major Western governments.The contributors focus specifically on the important links between budgeting, auditing, and policy evaluation. These are examined as elements of an interactive process that plays a major role in government decision making. Although the three elements are institutionally and functionally distinct, auditing and evaluation generate information that has a measurable impact on government programs and their management. As each chapter demonstrates, national experiences show considerable variation in the development and linkage of budgeting, auditing, and evaluation. The authors identify both commonalities and divergences and make comparative statements of the consequences of these for the policy process.Contents: Andrew Gray, Bill Jenkins, and Bob Segsworth, "Perspectives on Budgeting, Auditing, and Evaluation: An Introduction," David Mathiasen, "The Separation of Powers and Political Choice" (United States), Andrew Gray and Bill Jenkins, "Separate Developments" (United Kingdom), Hans-Ulrich Derlien, ''Two-Track Processes" ...
