How An Australian Commoner Saved The British Monarchy.内容简介
One Man Saved The British Royal Family In The First Decades Of The 20Th Century - Amazingly He Was An Almost Unknown, And Certainly Unqualified, Speech Therapist Called Lionel Logue, Whom One Newspaper In The 1930S Famously Dubbed 'The Quack Who Saved A King'. Logue Wasn'T A British Aristocrat Or Even An Englishman - He Was A Commoner And An Australian To Boot. Nevertheless It Was The Outgoing, Amiable Logue Who Single-Handedly Turned The Famously Nervous, Tongue-Tied, Duke Of York Into The Man Who Was Capable Of Becoming King. Had Logue Not Saved Bertie (As The Man Who Was To Become King George Vi Was Always Known) From His Debilitating Stammer, And Pathological Nervousness In Front Of A Crowd Or Microphone, Then It Is Almost Certain That The House Of Windsor Would Have Collapsed. The King'S Speech Is The Previously Untold Story Of The Extraordinary Relationship Between Logue And The Haunted Young Man Who Became King George Vi, Drawn From Logue'S Unpublished Personal Diaries. They Throw Extraordinary Light On The Intimacy Of The Two Men - And The Vital Role The King'S Wife, The Late Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, Played In Bringing Them Together To Save Her Husband'S Reputation And His Career As King. The King'S Speech Is An Intimate Portrait Of The British Monarchy At A Time Of Its Greatest Crisis, Seen Through The Eyes Of An Australian Commoner Who Was Proud To Serve, And Save, His King.作者简介

This stellar audio production of the book that preceded the Oscar-winning film THE KINGS SPEECH is a must-listen for historians, gossips, royalists, colonialists, and everyone else. The audio begins with something the book can t offer a recording of King George VI s actual wartime speech. It s an atmospheric introduction to the story of two different men who become essential to each other and to Britain. An extrovert Australian vocal coach who helped create modern speech therapy and a shy, stammering Duke transformed into a fine and fluent monarch Simon Vance inhabits them subtly, shading character with accent, tone, and pace. He also propels the plot by reading with the verve of fiction while keeping his narration behind the words. A captivating and exemplary performance.--AudioFile Earphones Award Winner
精彩书摘
From the Back CoverLionel Logue was a self-taught and virtually unknown Australian speech therapist. Yet it was this outgoing, amiable man who almost single-handedly turned the nervous, tongue-tied Duke of York into one of Britain's greatest kings after his brother, Edward VIII, abdicated in 1936 over his love for Mrs Simpson. The King's Speech: How One Man Saved the British Monarchy is the previously untold story of the remarkable relationship between Logue and the haunted future King George VI, written with Logue's grandson and drawing exclusively from his grandfather Lionel's diaries and archive. This is an astonishing insight into the House of Windsor at the time of its greatest crisis. Never before has there been such a portrait of the British monarchy seen through the eyes of an Australian commoner who was proud to serve, and save, his King.
