Inhaltsangabe:
A satirical novel first published in 1933, It became a bestseller, and has endured as a classic of humor. Donald, the main character, attends a country house weekend, serves as private secretary to a Member of Parliament, attends the League of Nations, and most famously, plays in a village cricket match. The book is a treasure trove of fun.
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.
