Narrative Concering 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.

Reading books when they're part of your curriculum takes all the fun out of the experience and whatever effect the book is supposed to have on you is lost as you spend day after day analyzing the story and finding answers to questions. But...I think it's safe to say that while reading this, it wasn't like that at all. I became completely engrossed with the story and was always a few chapters ahead of the rest of the class. I remember reading the story, sitting on one of the back seats, ignoring

"Brookfield will never forget his lovableness." Before starting, I thought I wouldn't love this novel. Turned out I was partiality right. Yeah! I loved it, but not completely. Because it was little boring for my taste. Although it was boring, I liked the character of Mr. Chips. It was so vivid and complete. His character development was gradual. And that was good. I liked his sense of humour and thoughts.I liked his chapters with Katherine. Those were the best. And last few chapters related

A funny light read.A retired teacher (Mr. Chipping alias Mr. Chips) reminiscences the old days. He is British and the story is set in the early nineties. I mean the teacher retires from teaching in 1913 and spends his days very close to the school doing nothing but 'reading, talking and remembering.'This remembering is peppered with equal dose of both funny anecdotes and heart melting moments.A sample for funny anecdote: On his farewell day before Mr. Chips rose to give his speech, the Captain

Brookfield will never forget his lovableness," said Cartwright, in a speech to the School. Which was absurd, because all things are forgotten in the end. This was a part of my course syllabus in 12th standard, and for this very reason, it felt like work and less like a novel. But looking back on it and really seeing it has made me realise that I do love this novel. It's comfy and short. The writing almost feels like home. I've read it several times (for my exams and then for my siblings) and I

Although the lazy curriculum-makers of intermediate studies in Pakistan have killed this book for generations of Pakistanis by keeping it in the curriculum for the past five decades, to those who truly love literature and don't confuse spouting the names of obscure books with 'reading', this one is a great delight. In the very datedness of the character and the environs it describes lies its principal charm. Each time I have read this book, I have shed copious tears, and to me, personally, that
