Inhaltsangabe

The terrible implications of the rise of Nazism were rarely so accurately perceived as in A. G. Macdonell's prescient novel, Lords and Masters, first published in 1936. With rapturous satire, Macdonell exposes the unpleasant values of West End Society circles of the early 1930s, where fear of bolshevism led to a dangerous flirtation with fascism. War-profiteer Sir Montagu Anderton-Mawle and Nazi fanatic Veronica Hanson (modeled on Unity Mitford) are among Macdonell's greatest and most memorable characters, deftly personifying the arrogance and hypocrisy of the Mayfair monied set. Potent and prescient, Lords and Masters remains one of A. G.Macdonell's most important and enduring novels

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

A. G. Macdonell, (1895-1941) was a journalist and satirical novelist. Without doubt his best-known work was England Their England, but the success of this overshadows his other books, many of which were classics in their own way. The Autobiography of a Cad must surely rank as one of the funniest books ever written and Lords and Masters is a cutting and hard-hitting satire with frightening prescience, foreseeing the Second World War as inevitable. His American trip in 1934 is amusingly related in A Visit to America, but his other non-fiction is also powerful and beautifully written, with his highly-regarded Napoleon and his Marshalls providing one of the best accounts of the Napoleonic Wars in one single volume.
