Book excerpt: The complete works of one of England's greatest Edwardian writers Saki is perhaps the most graceful spokesman for England's 'Golden Afternoon' - the slow and peaceful years before the First World War. Although, like so many of his generation, he died tragically young, in action on the Western Front, his reputation as a writer continued to grow long after his death. His work is humorous, satiric, supernatural, and macabre, highly individual, full of eccentric wit and unconventional situations. With his great gift as a social satirist of his contemporary upper-class Edwardian world, Saki is one of the few undisputed English masters of the short story and one of the great writers of a bygone era. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Book Synopsis Sredni Vashtar and Other Stories by : Saki
Download or read book Sredni Vashtar and Other Stories written by Saki and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2015-10-21 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Burma in 1870, Scottish writer H. H. Munro adopted the pseudonym Saki to satirize the social conventions, cruelty, and foolishness of the Edwardian era. His highly readable blend of flippant humor and outrageous inventiveness is often overlaid with a mood of horror. After Munro's untimely death in action during World War I, Christopher Morley wrote: "the empty glass we turn down for him is the fragile, hollow-stemmed goblet meant for the finest champag≠ it is of the driest." Readers can sample Munro's special brand of well-plotted satiric fiction in this inexpensive collection of his best tales. In addition to the title story, selections include "Tobermory," "Laura," "The Open Window," and "The Schartz-Metterklume Method." With its biting wit and vein of cruelty, Munro's work has sometimes been compared to early Evelyn Waugh; admirers of Waugh and other discerning readers are sure to savor this stimulating taste of vintage Saki.

Download or read book Saki's Plays written by Saki and published by Renard Press Ltd. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The undisputed master of the short story, Saki’s name is synonymous with brilliant writing that satirises Edwardian Society, and his plays were no exception. In his only full-length play, ‘The Watched Pot’, Trevor Bavvel, sole heir to a country estate, is in want of a wife, but must operate under the strict attention of his miserly mother Hortensia. Although wildly neglected today, Saki’s plays met with widespread acclaim in his day, and he was even compared favourably with the great Oscar Wilde. This complete edition of Saki’s plays – the first complete edition ever published – demonstrates the great writer’s prowess as a playwright, and sparkles with the same wit as the short stories that have enchanted generations of readers. 'His stories and novels appear as delightful and […] sophisticated as they did when he first published them.' Noël Coward
