  • "Dreissig Jahre lang hat Frank McCourt, der Amerikaner mit der unglücklichen irischen katholischen Kindheit, in New Yorker Schulen unterrichtet. Jetzt erzählt er, was er von seinen insgesamt zwölftausend Schülern gelernt hat - als Lehrer, als Geschichtenerzähler, als Schriftsteller. Ein >>McCourt<<, wie man ihn liebt: voll Witz und Charme, voll Verzweiflung, Ironie und Lebensweisheit."
  • "Frank McCourts Erinnerungen an seine Jahre als Lehrer Dreissig Jahre lang hat Frank McCourt, der Amerikaner mit der unglücklichen irischen katholischen Kindheit, in New Yorker Schulen unterrichtet. Jetzt erzählt er, was er von seinen insgesamt zwölftausend Schülern gelernt hat - als Lehrer, als Geschichtenerzähler, als Schriftsteller. Ein Buch, wie man es liebt, aber selten findet: voll Witz und Charme, voll Verzweiflung, Ironie und Lebensweisheit. Frank McCourt wurde 1930 in Brooklyn in New York als Kind irischer Einwanderer geboren, wuchs in Limerick in Irland auf und kehrte 1949 nach Amerika zurück. Dreissig Jahre lang hat er an New Yorker High Schools unterrichtet. Für sein erstes Buch, 'Die Asche meiner Mutter', 1996 erschienen, erhielt er den Pulitzerpreis, den National Book Critics Circle Award und den L.A. Times Book Award. Frank McCourt verstarb im Juli 2009."

  • "In this tribute to teachers everywhere. McCourt records the trials, triumphs and surprises he faces in public high schools around New York City. His methods anything but conventional, McCourt creates a lasting impact on his students through imaginative assignments, singalongs and field trips. As he struggles to find his way in the classroom, he spends his evenings drinking with writers and dreaming of one day putting his own story to paper. The book shows McCourt developing his ability to tell a great story as he works to gain the attention and respect of unruly or indifferent adolescents. His rocky marriage, his failed attempt to get a Ph. D. at Trinity College, Dublin, and his repeated firings due to his propensity to talk back to his superiors ironically lead him to New York's most prestigious school, Stuyvesant High School, where he finally finds a place and a voice.--From publisher description."

  • "From the Pulitzer Prize-winning, bestselling author of Angela's Ashes and 'Tis, a wonderfully engaging and appealing book about teaching and storytelling. In Teacher Man, Frank turns his attention to teaching: why it's so important, why it's so undervalued. He describes his own coming of age - as a teacher, a storyteller and, ultimately, a writer. He instinctively identifies with the underdog, his sympathies lie more with students than administrators. It takes him almost fifteen years to find his voice in the classroom, but what's clear in the thrilling pages of Teacher Man is that from the beginning he seized and held his students' attention by telling them memorable stories. With wit, charm, and irreverence, Frank McCourt tells his most exhilarating story yet - how he became a writer."@en

  • "From the Pulitzer Prize-winning, bestselling author of Angela's Ashes and Tis comes this wonderfully engaging book about teaching and storytelling, the subjects closest to Frank McCourt's heart. In Teacher Man Frank turns his attention to the subject that he most often talks about in his lectures - teaching: why it's so important, why it's so undervalued. He describes his own coming of age as a teacher; a storyteller and, ultimately, a writer. He is alternately humble and mischievous, down-trodden and rebellious. It takes him almost fifteen years to find his voice in the classroom, but what's clear in Teacher Man is that from the beginning he held his students' attention by telling them memorable stories."@en
  • "New York, des années 1960 aux années 1990. Après avoir exercé différents métiers, F. McCourt se décide à utiliser son diplôme d'enseignant. Premier poste : un lycée technique de Staten Island. Quelle attitude adopter face à ces élèves particulièrement difficiles ? L'auteur relate son parcours d'enseignant."
  • "This book is about how the author's thirty-year teaching career shaped his second act as a writer. It is also an urgent tribute to teachers everywhere. In bold and spirited prose featuring his irreverent wit and hearbreaking honesty, he records the trials, triumphs and surprises of teaching in public high schools. It shows him developing his unparalleled ability to tell a great story as, five days a week, five periods per day, he works to gain the attention and respect of unruly, hormonally charged or indifferent adolescents."
  • "A retelling of Frank McCourt's book describing his own coming of age, as a teacher, a storyteller and a writer. With a predisposition to support the underdog, and with sympathies for students rather than administrators, McCourt has always used stories to help his pupils."@en
  • "In this third volume of his memoirs McCourt describes the years he spent teaching in various New York high schools."
