Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The novel 'Caprice' was written by English author Ronald Firbank, who is renowned for his unique and unusual writing style. A satirical work by Firbank, 'Caprice' was published in 1917 and humorously and absurdly examines the lives of the upper class. The lifestyles of strange characters in a made-up European location are the focus of this satirical comedy book. The wit, colourful language, and dialogue-based style of Firbank's writing all work together to highlight the ridiculousness of society rules and customs. In 'Caprice,' he uses a sequence of short stories and scenes to create a striking image of a society in which social mores are both distorted and violated. All things considered, 'Caprice' is a scathing and humorous examination of the customs and peculiarities of the upper class, delivered with Firbank's distinct literary flare. 'Caprice' is a thought-provoking and enjoyable book for those who enjoy satire and unique storytelling.

Dust jacket illustration of a cupid with bow by Andy Warhol, here credited as Andrew Warhol. These three novels are a series of animated tableaux filled with beautiful, eccentric women pursuing pleasure in the most wicked, perverse, irresponsible ways, written by an extraordinary Englishman who dared to be as original in his books as he was in his life. Vainglory, his longest work, was published in 1915. Inclinations (1916) is set mainly in Greece, where the fifteen-year-old Mabel Collins is travelling with her chaperone, Miss O'Brookomore. Mabel elopes with an Italian conte, but the plot is of minor importance and the interest, as with all Firbank's work, lies in the dialogue. His next novel Caprice followed in 1917.
