George Thornycroft Sassoon (30 October 1936 – 8 March 2006) was a British scientist, electronic engineer, linguist, translator and author. ==Early life== Sassoon was the only child of the poet Siegfried Sassoon and Hester Sassoon née Gatty, and was born in London, where his parents had rented a house in order to be closer to specialist help than in Wiltshire. He was christened at St Martin-in-the-Fields by Rev Dick Sheppard.〔Jean Moorcroft Wilson, ''Siegfried Sassoon: the Journey from the Trenches'' (Duckworth, 2003), p298〕 George's father wrote playfully to Max Beerbohm in November 1936: "Will he, I wonder, become Prime Minister, Poet Laureate, Archbishop of Canterbury, or merely Editor of ''The Times Literary Supplement''? Or Master of The Quorn? Or merely Squire of Heytesbury?"〔Ian Sansom, ''The Truth About Babies: From A-Z'' (2003) (p. 6 ) at books.google.com〕 In 1947, Sassoon's parents separated, and he thereafter spent much of his childhood with his mother on the Scottish island of Mull. He was educated at Greenways Preparatory School, Ashton Gifford House, near Codford, then at Oundle School and King's College, Cambridge. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Sassoon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
