Copertina di Saki: Chronicles of Clovis (ePUB)

Renowned for his witty dialogue and macabre humor, Saki skewered the pretensions and follies of the Edwardian age. This 1911 collection of well-plotted, acerbic short stories showcases his mastery of comic repartee. The tales recount the escapades of an irreverent socialite, Clovis Sangrail—a forerunner to the aristocratic Bertie Wooster of Jeeves fame. Saki’s satires remain remarkably contemporary, offering paradoxical combinations of good-natured irony and cheerful cruelty. This compact anthology features some of his most popular stories, including "Sredni Vashtar, " "Tobermory, " "Esmé, " and "Mrs. Packletide’s Tiger." One of the author’s latter-day disciples, A. A. Milne, offers an informative Introduction to this delightful taste of vintage Saki.
