But it has also been emblematic of the great changes in our country since World War II. Never Say You’ve Had a Lucky Life is an intimate look at one life steeped in radical change.

Der Lehrer, von dem du gerne gelernt hättest (und deine Eltern wären froh gewesen, hättest du so einen Lehrer gehabt).
