Couverture souple. Condition: Bon. George Plank (illustrator). Description : Numéro 3089 dans la collection Domaine étranger. Présentation en quatrième de couverture -- "On avait découvert l'humour caustique d'E. F. Benson dans le Cycle de Mapp et Lucia. Et comme rien ne donne plus de souffle à son inspiration que le snobisme et les situations stupides et rocambolesques qui en découlent, cela n'étonnera personne qu'il consacre un livre aux "snobs". Il les décrit en douze portraits désopilants et, même si l'époque a beaucoup changé (l'ouvrage se situe au début du siècle), le moteur qui fait avancer ces grimpeurs de toutes sortes reste le même. Entre ce couple de snobs absolus que forment sir et lady Marygold, ce jeune homme dont la passion est le crochet ou ce pique-assiette dont la seule ambition est de se nourrir et de se loger confortablement sans débourser un penny, Benson décrit un monde aussi sordide qu'amusant." Pascale Frey, Lire -- . | Titre original : The freaks of mayfair | Traduction : Traduit de l'anglais par Alian Defossé.

In a series of hilariously dry fictional sketches, E F Benson introduces us to some of the more bizarre inhabitants of Mayfair's Edwardian high society - a world he knew intinately. Each is a distinct representative of an anthropological 'type': Sir Louis and Lady Mary Marigold turn snobbery into an art form; 'Aunt' George is a bachelor with a passion for embroidery; Mrs Weston, a devotee of every new health-cult and spiritual fad; Horace Campbell, the jealous and poisonous society gossip; the socalled 'grizzly kittens' Babs Begum and Charlie Gordon, refuse to grow old gracefully; Mrs Sarah Whitehand is the social-climbing wife of an American toilet-bowl magnate; and Mr Sandow, the socialite vicar who seems interested in everything but real spirituality. These and a number of other intriguing specimens, all greedily jockeying for social standing in this most exclusive of societies, are impaled, Iabelled and preserved for our entertainment on the razor-sharp scalpel of Benson's savage wit. This copy has the original illustrations by George Plank (1883 - 1965) was an American artist illustrator, chiefly remembered for his long-term association with Vogue Magazine, which resulted in years of covers in an Art Deco style related to that of Helen Dryden and influenced, by among others, Edmund Dulac.
