Commentary During Books Good-Bye, Mr. Chips

Mr. Hilton's classic story of an English schoolmaster.

Mr. Chipping, the classics master at Brookfield School since 1870, takes readers on a beguiling journey through the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Sometimes Chips, as he is affectionately known, is an old man who dreams by the fire; then he's a difficult young taskmaster schooling his students, or a middle-aged man encountering the lovely Katherine, whose "new woman" opinions work far-reaching changes in him. As succeeding generations of boys march onward through Chips' mind, Hilton's narrative remains masterful. He seamlessly interweaves a poignant love story with the jokes and eccentricities of English public school life, while also chronicling a new, uncertain world full of conflict and upheaval that extends far beyond the turrets of Brookfield.

Commentary About Books Good-Bye, Mr. Chips

Seems to be many parallels to the date of publishing to the present. One would be how different generations evolve with those young and old, with each holding to their own beliefs and ideas. I thought it a poignant moment when Mr. Chips, in his later years, became filled with emotion to the point of tears. And that the then and the now are no different in this regard; a man's tears are still construed as weakness. I believe Mr. Hilton's prose delivered a contradiction to this perspective on the

A beautifully crafted audiobook with my favourite narrator,Martin Jarvis bringing old "Chips" to life with humour and a touch of melancholy,related to the sad times he lived through.A tear jerker but a wonderfully inspiring story.Highly Recommended.

This book reflects not only upon the long life of a dying teacher, but on a wonderful time when people weren't so focused on themselves and their telecommunications. It was a time when people were actually involved with the world around them and when children weren't so lazy, when instead of sitting there on their X-Boxes they'd go outside all day, have adventures and make their lives into something meaningful. As "Mr. Chips" thinks back on the ninety-some years he's been alive, his life turns

the worst book ever!!! its in our English syllabus and we had no choice but to read it...i mean from the world full of books they had to make us read this one !! but this book is not just unbearable but it has no point whatsoever.mr chips himself is the weirdest guy ever to walk the planet, i mean he says that he cant stand women and then goes and marries a girl young enough to be his daughter, if that isnt creepy i dont know what is. apart from that, that dude thought he was so witty but the

This review is in honour of Beth who enticed me into reading this sweet tale sooner than planned. Mr Chips, a shy, reserved teacher finds love in middle age and as a result becomes much loved by his students and colleagues. Story has a timeless quality to it; beautifully written.
