2014年度　春夏講座
04) Reading and discussing Londoners

講義内容

Every great city not only has its own unique character, but also has similarities with other great cities - so let's compare London and Tokyo, as we read and discuss Craig Taylor's 2011 non-fiction book Londoners : The Days and Nights of London Now - As Told by Those Who Love It, Hate It, Live It, Left It and Long for It.
This book is a collection of interviews with all kinds of Londoners, ranging from a beekeeper to a Buckingham Palace guardsman. The stories of their lives also reveal the dynamic past and present of the city of London, and they often speak in a lively way which shows us how the English language is changing in the 21st century.
