A selection of Letter from America broadcasts from the years 1982-2003, plus a tribute to Alistair Cooke. Such experience, wisdom & education are unlikely ever again to combine in one journalist Mark Lawson. Alistair Cooke was radio's great observer, the doyen of foreign correspondents & the world's most famous letter writer. From 1946 until 2004, he explained the Americans to the British through his weekly Letter ' From America', the longest-running one-man series in broadcasting history. It was always a virtuoso performance informed, informal, shrewd, funny & erudite. In this volume, Cooke reports on a varied selection of events, including the 1992 presidential election, the art of Charles Schulz & introducing Bernstein to Handel's Messiah. He remembers the infamous standoff over Cuba, which nearly caused a third world war, & recalls the more recent shocking events surrounding September 11th 2001 & the subsequent war on terror. Every event evokes a particular time & place, but Cooke's unique style of expression & analysis provides each with a resonance that echoes through the years. The size of this CD is 14cm in height & 12.5cm wide ...

Letter From A Stranger

Captivating and evocative, Letter from a Stranger will take you on an unforgettable journey from idyllic Connecticut to exotic Istanbul to war-torn Berlin then back to the present day. When award-winning film maker Justine Nolan returns to her beautiful childhood home, she is intrigued by an envelope she finds in her absent mothers post. But the letter inside contains a shocking revelation. If genuine it will change everything she believes about her familys recent history, her mother and her adored grandmother, Gabriele. With the support of her beloved twin brother, Richard, Justine resolves to uncover the truth. To do so she must travel to Istanbul ? the teeming, beguiling city on the cusp of East and West. It is a place which holds its own secrets, leading her to a
fascinating man who appears to know more than he is prepared to disclose. Yet even when her quest succeeds, Justine is faced with a further mystery: Gabrieles background is not what it seems. Justine is given a book of memories in which the real story unfolds, taking her back to the darkest days of European history, with its suffering and astonishing acts of bravery. At the heart of it lie the final facts of Gabrieles identity ? and her own. The letter from a stranger has brought her not only to the truth about her family but also a chance to heal the wounds of past betrayals, to embrace a new love and new life.
