Description

Dirk Bogarde's An Orderly Man A Memoir is a poignant and introspective account of his life. After two decades of non-stop work, he seeks refuge in a neglected farmhouse in the South of France, hoping to find peace and tranquility. However, this retreat from the world proves to be short-lived, as he faces challenges such as struggling olive trees and fierce mistral winds. Despite these obstacles, Bogarde manages to portray even the simplest issues with great delicacy and humanity. This volume also covers a pivotal period in his life, during which he delivered some of his most memorable performances on stage and screen, while also beginning to explore his writing talents.
