Synopsis
In the years leading up to the First World War, Theodore Fletcher achieves a lifetime's ambition and is elected to the Wardenship of St Mary's College. But it isn't long before he discovers that he was a compromise candidate and, in reality, is despised by his fellows. Me begins to see his life as an uneventful and trivial succession of failures. What he doesn't suspect is that this is soon to change in a most alarming and regrettable way. 'A plot of extraordinary delicacy, pathos, and irony. It is rare indeed to find a tale, so ruthless in its probing of shame and grief, at the same time so sure in its grasp of significance and beauty.' Observer 'A novel of uncommon qualities. Miss Cannan has sympathy and insight, she can hit hard, she can be witty, she has a fine gift of phrase.' Spectator

Tapa blanda
Seller: Elefante de los Libros, Madrid, MADRI, Spain
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Tapa blanda. Condition: Bien. Prólogo de Anthony Quinton. Idioma: inglés. Páginas: 216. Theodore es un pequeño erudito estudioso, tímido y algo severo, hijo único de padres poco amorosos e inflexibles, que se ve obligado a tener una (falsa) compañía con la nobleza local y la odia, por lo que se siente atraído por la amistad de la tranquila hija del posadero local. . Una vez que se equivoca más tarde, se sumerge profundamente en la vida de una universidad de Oxford, evitando los asuntos del corazón y la interacción más personal para la ambición académica (aunque solo produce un pequeño volumen). Estado de la cubierta: Bien. Tamaño 14x21.Tenemos a su disposición fotografías de nuestros libros. Si desea verlas, o ampliar las ya publicadas, puede solicitarlo a través del correo electrónico de nuestra librería. Libro. Seller Inventory # IN022263
