"This is a wonderful collection of short fictions from Saki. Anything from him and his contemporaries is worth reading, rereading and preserving. The era where the purity of language and the view to the world was a way lot different than the way it is now. A highly recommended collection from Saki and the format (hard cover) is greatly binded and print is in comfortable lay out of fonts and size." - Amazon Customer Reviews

  • Mô tả

Saki''s dazzling tales manage the remarkable feat of being anarchic and urbane at the same time. Studded with Wildean epigrams and featuring well-contrived plots and surprise endings, his stories gleefully skewer the pompous hypocrisies of upper-class Edwardian society. But they go beyond mere satire, raising dark humour to extremes of entertaining outrageousness that have rarely since been matched. Saki''s elegantly mischievous young heroes sow chaos in their wake without breaking a sweat, occasionally assisted by werewolves, tigers, eavesdropping house pets and casually murderous children. This selection of over fifty stories includes such favourites as ''Tobermory'', ''The Open Window'', ''Sredni Vashtar'', ''Mrs Packletide''s Tiger'', ''The Schartz-Metterklume Method'', and many more.
