| Description: |
The extraordinary stories of 'Saki' are a mixture of humorous satire, irony and the macabre, in which the stupidities and hypocrisy of conventional society are viciously pilloried. |
| Synopsis: |
`All decent people live beyond their incomes nowadays, and those who aren't respectable live beyond other people's'.Saki (H.H. Munro) stands alongside Anton Chekhov and O Henry as a master of the short story. His extraordinary stories are a mixture of humorous satire, irony and the macabre, in which the stupidities and hypocrisy of conventional society are viciously pilloried. This collection includes Sredni Vastor and The Unrest Cure.`We all know that Prime Ministers are wedded to the truth, but like other married couples they sometimes live apart' |
