Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'Autobiography of the very finest quality. Having enjoyed in the course of reading it the loudest and longest laughs I have enjoyed in the last two years I am quite incapable of making any critical observations. I found the book enchanting from cover to cover.' Compton Mackenzie, Daily Mail 'First Childhood and A Distant Prospect are quietly remarkable volumes of autobiography. Both books are alive with unforgotten terrors and undforgiven indignities.' Alan Hollinghurst, TLS, March 1998 ''Not only witty and amusing, but contains things to ponder over in plenty behind the mere youthful years. The portraits of his friends are complete portraits, skectched brilliantly in a few strokes.' Tatler First Childhood is the first volume of Lord Berner's perfectly formed, hilarious, and beautifully written memoirs. Berners was a great English eccentric, a composer, novelist, painter and conspicuous aesthete whose friends included Gerturde Stein, Diaghilev and Sacherverell Sitwell. The character of Lord Merlin in Nancy Mitford's The Pursuit of Love is based on Lord Berners, who would dip his pigeons into basins of magenta, green and ultramarine so that when released they resembled, Mitford wote, 'a cloud of confetti in the sky'. These memoirs are classics of their kind. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Tapa blanda. Zustand: New. El joven lord Berners recuerda, al comienzo de estas memorias de infancia, la primera vez que fue consciente de su existencia, una existencia, tan privilegiada como extraña, que se desarrolla en una mansión neogótica de la campiña inglesa, en el seno de una familia obsesionada por la caza del zorro, la equitación y el ideal de la masculinidad victoriana. Berners pronto descubre su absoluta ineptitud para los deportes, su condición de pésimo jinete y su inclinación irremediable por la música, las muñecas y el arte. Sus rarezas, sus bromas y sus experimentos, cada vez menos tolerables, harán que acabe en un internado destinado a «hacer de él un hombre». Bajo la tutela del señor Gambril, cuyos métodos recuerdan más a los de un carcelero que a los de un educador, Berners tendrá que desenvolverse en un ambiente educativo rígido, pero no exento de descubrimientos de todo tipo, también afectivos.Quintaesencia del aristócrata inglés excéntrico, Berners describe a su entorno familiar -sus antagónicas abuelas, la odiosa prima Emily-, a sus vecinas, a su institutriz suiza o a sus compañeros y profesores del colegio con agudeza y ojo clínico. Su estilo, cáustico y acerado, da lugar a múltiples momentos desternillantes y a situaciones absurdas, al tiempo que explica el peso de la tradición en la aristocracia victoriana, un peso del que el joven Berners desea librarse a toda costa. Una educación sentimental que no servirá de ejemplo a nadie.…
