Andy Hopkins – Joc Potter: Oxford (Oxford Bookworms)

The oldest university in England and one of the most famous cities in the world. But Oxford is not only a city of students, and its history was not always quiet and thoughtful. And what is modern Oxford really like? This book looks at the history of Oxford – but is also looks at the living city of today, its river, and some places of interest nearby.

Könnyen érthető és érdekes ez a kis könyvecske. Azért olvastam el, hogy egy kicsit gyakoroljam az angolt.

Számomra elég semmilyen volt, de végül is nem szoktam városokat leíró könyveket olvasni. Gyakorlásnak viszont jó volt, szinte mindent értettem :)

Andy Hopkins – Joc Potter: Oxford (Oxford Bookworms)

Mint egy rövidített útikalauz. Csak a lényeg, mit kell megnézned Oxfordban és környékén, ha ott jársz, és mit kell tudnod róla. Alap. (Mint John Escott-tól a „London” című Bookworms)

[…] but there were also problems between the people of the town and those at the university. In 1209 some students killed a woman; angry townspeople then killed two students, and many others moved away from Oxford. Some went to Cambridge and started the university there. In 1355 there was fighting in the streets for days, and sixty-two students died.

Under the Protestant queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603), life in Oxford was easier than under her older, Catholic sister, 'Bloody Mary'; in Mary's time, three men were burned to death outside Balliol College for their religion. They are called the Oxford Martyrs.
