Résumé

Angela's Ashes was a true publishing phenomenon. The winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Royal Society of Literature Award (amongst others), this lyrical and poignant memoir topped bestseller charts the world over for more than two years and has since become a much loved modern classic. A heartfelt account of poverty in Ireland and emigration to America, Angela's Ashes combines a personal perspective on a little-known aspect of modern history with Frank McCourt's spellbinding story-telling, creating an enduring masterpiece in the process.
Frank McCourt taught for thirty years in various New York City high schools and in city colleges. His first book was Angela's Ashes, a memoir of his childhood. It won the 1997 Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Los Angeles Times Award and the Royal Society of Literature Award amongst others, and rapidly became a bestseller, topping all charts worldwide for over three years.
'Tis, the sequel, continued its predecessor's huge success and the books have been published in more than twenty countries and languages. Frank McCourt's latest book is Teacher Man, the story of his coming of age as a teacher, a storyteller and, ultimately, a writer. He lives in Connecticut and New York.
