Good-Bye, Mr. Chips

eBook (GoodBook Classics Oct. 22, 2014)
This novel depicts the career of a gentle schoolteacher at an English public school. Arthur Chipping (“Mr. Chips”) is a middle-aged bachelor who falls in love with and marries a young woman whom he has met on a mountaineering vacation.Quotes from the book:“What a host of little incidents, all deep-buried in the past -- problems that had once been urgent, arguments that had once been keen, anecdotes that were funny only because one remembered the fun.”““Brookfield will never forget his lovableness,” said Cartwright, in a speech to the School. Which was absurd, because all things are forgotten in the end.”“Chips did not hold with all this modern newness and freedom. He had a vague notion, if he ever formulated it, that nice women were weak, timid, and delicate, and that nice men treated them with a polite but rather distant chivalry.”Readers' reviews:“It's a bit like 'Forrest Gump' in the way it follows one man's life and shows the reader bits of history and attitudes during those times along the way.” (Patty Marvel, goodreads.com)“This is a great heartfelt read on the Victorian era schooling as it was brutally thrust into the horrors of World War I and how one man dealt with it as he watched boys he loved die and tried to preserve the school he’d come to love.” (Sarah, goodreads.com)“I can see why this is a much loved and adored book. It took me no more than an hour to read but it is so heartfelt and beautifully written that I could have flipped back to page one and spent another hour in the life of Mr Chipping.” (Amy, goodreads.com)
