Tenkrát v Hollywoodu

Společná rekonstrukce starého domu má být jen dočasná dohoda, jenže minulost se hlásí o slovo a emoce se opravují hůř než prasklé zdi. Více informací

From his birth in 1916 (in the carding room of a cotton mill) until he ran away to London, William Woodruff lived in the heart of Blackburnâ€™s weaving community. But after Lancashireâ€™s supremacy in cotton textiles had ended with the crash of 1920, his father was thrown out of work. From then on, including the great depression of the 1930s, Woodruff and his family faced a life blighted by extreme poverty. Reading this book today, it is hard to comprehend that within living memory - and in what was the richest country in the world - so many people couldnâ€™t even afford to buy enough food. For the ordinary families of Lancashire, unemployment was an ever-present fear: "If you worked you ate. If there was no work you went hungry."
