Publisher Description

El modesto profesor que nadie podia olvidar. Una de las obras preferidas de los publicos, que ha sido llevada al cine en numerosas oportunidades, es la historia de Mr. Chips, un modesto profesor en una escuela provinciana, que ve pasar generaciones enteras de alumnos y que vive una vida basada en los recuerdos y en las tradiciones escolares. La sencillez del relato, asi como lo conmovedor de esta novela la han convertido en un pequeno clasico del siglo XX. James Hilton, su autor, fue hijo de un maestro de escuela y es posible que la novela tenga ribetes autobiograficos. Hilton es muy conocido por esta popular obra y por Horizontes perdidos, la popular novela sobre un sitio donde nadie envejece.

One favorite novel is the story of Mr. Chips, a modest teacher in a provincial school. He sees the parade of generations of students and lives his life based on his memories and the school traditions.

"This caught my eye on the library shelf this morning and I realised that although I knew the title, and indeed what it was about, I'd neither read it nor seen the famous 1939 film with Robert Donat in the title role. It's a lovely little tale of a long-gone era of England that I found almost unbearably moving."

    " A wonderful little book, full of pathos yet somehow uplifting, a tribute to an ordinary man who lived a pleasant and fruitful life. Thoroughly recommended. "

    " So far a very good old fashioned 'teacher' story. I am reading it while my students labour away on their SOL tests. A touching read! I also just watched the 1939 movie. Wasn't as good as the book, of course. "

    " A tear jerking novelette. Hilton says just enough perfectly, and the room that he spares tests the limits of the reader's capacity for human compassion and deference towards the devotees of children and their education. "

    " Very sweet, tiny little book. I think, in this case, my enjoyment of it was actually enhanced by the movie that I saw many years ago. (I think there is more than one version. The one I saw had Peter O'Toole and Petula Clark.) "

    " A classic. The life of a professor from an all boys school in England. Not always interesting, but there are humorous parts. It is from the professor's point of view and it is interesting to hear how he endured for so long and then kept in touch with the school. "

    " An engaging, endearing and sentimental story. Very readable and enthralling for quite a short novel. You immediately feel a part of his life and you don't want to stop reading. Very enjoyable but also quite emotional. "

    " A great, feel-good book. It was shorter than I had expected (since they made a full length movie out of it), but perhaps part of the beauty of it is that so much could be expressed in so few words. Definitely a book to add to my permanent collection. "
