Sull'Autore
Author C. Northcote Parkinson was born in the north of England on July 30, 1909. He was educated at Emmanuel College at the University of Cambridge and at King's College, London. His graduate thesis "War in the Eastern Seas, 1793-1815" won the 1935 Julian Corbett Prize in Naval History. He taught mostra altro at numerous schools, colleges, and universities including the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth; the University of Liverpool; the University of Malaya; Harvard University; the University of Illinois; and the Univeristy of California, Berkeley. He stopped teaching in 1960 to become an independent writer. He wrote over 60 books in his lifetime; many dealing with British politics and economics. His most famous work is Parkinson's Law, which is a collection of short essays explaining the inevitability of bureaucratic expansion because work increases to fill the time allotted for it. He also wrote the Richard Delancey series about a fictional naval officer from Guernsey during the Napoleonic era. He died on March 9, 1993 in Canterbury, Kent. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra meno

La prima edizione italiana, curata nientemeno che da Luciano Bianciardi, è da lungo tempo fuori catalogo; è pertanto meritoria l'opera di Andrea Monti che ha ripreso il testo. La traduzione rende perfettamente lo stile britannico dell'autore, e inoltre molte note a piè di pagina aiutano a comprendere i riferimenti prettamente britannici inseriti da Parkinson, che in fin dei conti era un membro dell'élite inglese della metà del XX secolo. Una lettura che diverte ma fa anche pensare, insomma!… (altro)
