Hardback. Zustand: Good. What did Basil Fawlty fail to avoid mentioning? Why did Sybil keep snagging her cardies? Where was Polly on the night of the great wedding anniversary disaster? And what is the Spanish word for donkey?The answer to all these questions can be found in this, the complete and unexpurgated scripts of Fawlty Towers--the most celebrated Brit-com of all time, and the show was voted the top UK television series ever by the British Film Institute. The snobbish, manic Basil.his over-coiffeured, domineering wife Sybil.the hopeless but ever-hopeful waiter Manuel.the calm and capable Polly.and of course the steady stream of abused guests--all live again in the pages of The Complete Fawlty Towers.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. First published in 1972, this work examines the complex concept of metaphor. It defines the term by placing the various key ideas about the nature of metaphor in their literary and social context, and in doing so, it traces the developing history of the concept. This account has considerable range, beginning with Aristotle and ending with the work of modern linguist and anthropologists. From this analysis emerge two opposed yet complementary ideas: the classical view of metaphor, which sees metaphor as a detachable device imported into language, and the romantic view, which sees metaphor as inseparable from language. This book will be of interest to those studying English literature and language.…
