How We Saw It gives a fascinating picture of the way people lived and what they wanted during the last century and a half. From the girl who became the Talking Clock and the night that Crystal Palace burnt, to salmonella infected eggs and Tracey Emin's controversial works on display at the Tate, this book gives the news as it was experienced at the time, without the luxury of hindsight. Lavishly illustrated throughout with photographs from the Daily Telegraph archives and featuring newsflashes, letters to the editor, contributions from writers such as Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, John Keegan and A.N. Wilson, and a foreword from Lord Deedes, the book adds up to a riveting slice of history before the freshness wore off.
How We Saw It: 150 Years of The Daily Telegraph 1855–2005 Reviews

c2004. It does go to show that there is nothing new in this world. And that for every modern problem, there seems to have been an equivalent in the past ranging from the rabid anti-smokers to the deceptions of some tricksters. Riots and Union action and heroic feats feature throughout the 150 years. Great pics and absorbing articles. Definitely recommended to the normal crew. "Tranquillisers bring an insidious menace to drug addiction. January 21 1960."

Μια πολύ καλή επιλογή δημοσιογραφικών κειμένων από την γνωστή βρεττανική εφημερίδα. Κείμενα που δεν καταγράφουν μόνο ιστορικές στιγμές αλλά και την καθημερινότητα. Παράλληλα και μια καλή εξάσκηση Αγγλικών!
