Best of Saki [Jan 01, 2003] Saki - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Saki's (Hector Hugh Munro under a pen name) stories are beautifully varnished, taut pieces of writing, resolving on a twist at the last sentence. They reflect the manners and attitudes of the Edwardian society, from the point of view of the sardonic insider, and are at times marked by shades of black humour. This collection presents some his most popular stories, like 'The Open Window', 'The Hounds of Fate' and 'The Unrest Cure'.
