The Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts. Only wizards who are over seventeen are allowed to enter - but that doesn't stop Harry dreaming that he will win the competition. Then at Hallowe'en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its selection, Harry is amazed to find his name is one of those that the magical cup picks out. He will face death-defying tasks, dragons, and dark wizards, but with the help of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, he might just make it through - alive!

When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it's the start of another far from ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea leaves.... But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds, with their soul-sucking kiss....

Sintesi dell'editore
Stephen Fry presents this intriguing programme charting the history of knowledge, how technology changes our relationship with it, and how we know what we know. Knowledge.
The Google generation thinks it doesn’t need to carry much of it around in its head any more. Much has already been written about the internet changing the way we think and learn. But is knowledge less valuable than it used to be? This absorbing programme explores the concept of ‘knowledge’, drawing on a variety of diverse sources: quiz games, psychology, education, news, trivia shows, satellite navigation and comedy. Featuring cab drivers, philosophers, memory champions and members of the Brains Trust, it looks at topics including cultural relativism, language learning and prodigious feats of memory.
Plus, it attempts to answer such questions as: what constitutes useful knowledge in an era when we can find anything very quickly?; why has 'useless knowledge' gained in currency?; and, if Typhoo put the tea in Britain, should we take the piss out of epistemology?
Packed with interviews, debates and a feast of archive clips from the past three decades, this is an enlightening and entertaining overview of the world of knowledge, both general and specific.

Splendido!
Che meraviglia! Si può sempre contare sul sommo Stephen Fry per "a bit of knowledge" Quest'uomo ha una cultura smisurata e anche il dono di saperla trasmettere in modo piacevole e a tratti anche molto divertente. Tra curiosità e nozioni di rilievo ho trascorso un'ora gradevolissima ascoltando come è cambiato e si è evoluto (o forse anche involuto) il nostro modo di apprendere le cose Grazie Stephen!

A Show Short
This was not what I expected. It turned out to be a comedy short about Stephen Fry’s spots on a show. Only a bit of history about how knowledge has grown.

a great short story.
what is knowledge and who gets to decide the facts? these are questions which need answers. Stephen Fry does a great job of narration as usual.

I don't think you can
What does Stephen Fry bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His ability to make the some what soso sound bloody exciting.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Not really
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed the book more because of the way Stephen read it rather than the subject itself.

love Stephen. subject? Intriguing.
Mr Fry is an entirely interesting talent.
I have loved, and found vital, his books on Mythos and Heros. This book is a curio. Thought provoking. Curious. A bit odd. Charming? Yes!

The Knowledge
Honestly, if Stephen Fry read aloud the dictionary, I think I'd buy it. This was informative and witty, while the tangents he heads of on would put Billy Connolly to shame. Fry at his best.

Excellent Stephen Fry, as you would expect.
A short but entertaining listen. Read in Fry`s comic style. I enjoyed it.
Good for a quick listen.
