Importance of Being Eton ハードカバー – 2006/6/8
英語版
Nick Fraser
(著)
The uniform is Dickensian, the sports arcane, the fees astronomical. But Eton College still stitches itself into the fabric of our national life like no other school - the breeding ground for princes and prime ministers, where the arriviste meets the aristocrat. What is it about Eton? For many, it is a symbol of all that is wrong with Britain: an obstacle to modernity and a powerful force for privilege, elitism, and snobbery. For others, it represents a beacon of tradition and excellence in an otherwise monochrome world. But whether you love, loathe, fear or ridicule it, no one can ignore a school, which has such an impact on those who go there - and those who don't. Award-winning film maker Nick Fraser draws on his own experiences as an "OE", as well as those of teachers and fellow pupils - famous and infamous - to evaluate the phenomenon that is Eton.

An excellent read. A bit heavy going at times when it comes to the politics, and needs a few paragraphs to be read a couple of times. Very interesting and gives insight into the mind of an OE. Mr Fraser has obviously put a lot of work into this book, and gone deep into his own memory to share things that some people may have found difficult to talk about. Also, I got the paperback version at a bargain price compared to some of the prices that are being asked.

Perhaps not the Eton of the 21stc.

A great read and an interesting insight in to old school Eton. Not sure how true a reflection it is of the real school now, as the Etonians I have met are all well adjusted normal human beings. Nevertheless entertaining for those interested in schools and education.

Not especially well written, so it supports the author’s contention that an Eton education back in his day was inferior.
One can only wonder if he found the burden of elitism so hard to bear why he didn’t leave earlier. Plenty of others did.

Interesting read, I've visited eton school a number of times and thought it would be nice to read about the schools heritage etc. Very well written and gives a good insight as to what goes on in the school and how its run. If you've ever wondered why many politicians end up like they do then read this book as it will enlighten you.
