BARBARA CARTLAND’S ETIQUETTE HANDBOOK: A GUIDE TO GOOD BEHAVIOUR FROM THE BOUDOIR TO THE BOARDROOM

Book ID/图书代码: 11320008B21784

English Summary/英文概要: ’For the record, the word ’parlour’ is not used, nor is the relatively recent insidious ’lounge’, except about airports, hotels and liners.’ ’Boys should be taught at a very early age - six or seven - to say ’Sir’ to an older man.’ ’When there are servants, the plates for the first course are never put on the table until everyone is seated.’ ’I cannot stress too often that on every formal occasion, whether it is Luncheon, a Bazaar or a Meeting, a hat should be worn.’ Written nearly 50 years ago, "Barbara Cartland’s Etiquette Handbook" conjures up a period when addressing work colleagues by their first names was frowned upon, wives could expect to receive a weekly allowance of five shillings from their husbands, and hats were ubiquitous. Laced throughout with Barbara Cartland’s wit and wisdom, and Francis Marshall’s illustrations, this is a wonderfully evocative insight into the manners of an England that has largely disappeared.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 为了备案,“客厅”这个词不能用,不是靠近阴暗的“休息室”,除了机场,酒店和班轮。男孩子应该在很早的年龄的被教育,比如六七岁被叫“先生”的时候。当有公务员的时候,这应该是第一个被教的课程。“我不想过于强调,在每一个正式的场合,无论是午餐,市集或会议,都应该戴帽子。”《芭芭拉•卡特兰的礼仪手册》写于五十年前,它让人想起了一个时期,那个时候对同事直呼其名会让人皱眉,妻子期望从他们的丈夫每周收到5先令的津贴,而且帽子无处不在。整本书自始至终贯穿着芭芭拉•卡特兰的机智和智慧,以及弗朗西斯•马歇尔的插图,这是一本基本上已经消失,令人回味的关于英格兰利礼仪的书。(LNL)

“看看生活,当穿着破旧的睡衣,没有抹口红就为你的丈夫煮早餐,这是非常让人不悦的事情。”——这个文本是指的平装版

Barbara Cartland (1901-2000) was a prolific author of romance novels, selling over 1,000 million books in her lifetime, which earned her a place in The Guinness Book of Records. She wrote a total of 723 books of which 657 were novels; her books have been translated into 37 different languages. Amazingly, 400 of her romances were written during the last 20 years of her life and, at her death, she left an unprecedented 160 manuscripts, which are now being published on the Internet as the ’Barbara Cartland Pink Collection’, as well as in translated editions. Although best known for her fiction, she also wrote several biographies, including one of her brother Ronald Cartland, the first Member of Parliament to be killed in the Second World War. She had an active political life and served for nine years as Councillor for Hertfordshire County Council, campaigning for nursing home reform and salary improvement for midwives; she was also awarded the Bishop Wright Air Industry Award for her work in aviation. Barbara Cartland was made a Dame in 1991 for her contribution to literature and her work for the community.
