______________ First published in 1977, A Postillion Struck by
Lightning is volume one of Dirk Bogarde's best-selling memoirs.
Following Bogarde from childhood through adolescence, to the
beginnings of his budding career, A Postillion Struck by Lightning
is a heartfelt memoir, offering insight into what created the drive
and charisma that eventually made him a star. Dreamy, sun-soaked
summers full of freedom spent with his younger sister are mixed
with holidays in France and rambling the countryside. Writing plays
instead of playing sports, Dirk's talents lay in the creativity of
painting and expression rather than in the precision of maths or
science, much to the growing concern of his parents. Packed off to
live with relatives in Scotland, his father hoped that a proper
Scottish education would equip his son to follow in his footsteps
for a career in Newspapers. In Scotland, Dirk learned to defend
himself, to sound like a native Glaswegian, and to hide his intense
homesickness. In essence; he learned to act.
