Beschrijving
Both books in English
Book 1 - Lucky Jim. Kingsley Amis - Published by Penguin Books # 1648.
Regarded by many as the finest, and funniest, comic novel of the twentieth century, Lucky Jim remains as trenchant, withering, and eloquently misanthropic as when it first scandalized readers in 1954.
This is the story of Jim Dixon, a hapless lecturer in medieval history at a provincial university who knows better than most that “there was no end to the ways in which nice things are nicer than nasty ones.”
Kingsley Amis's scabrous debut leads the reader through a gallery of emphatically English bores, cranks, frauds, and neurotics with whom Dixon must contend in one way or another in order to hold on to his cushy academic perch and win the girl of his fancy.
Book 2 - My Enemy's Enemy. Kingsley Amis - Published by Penguin Books # 2346. 1965.
'I suppose it was conceived of me. But it was fun. And I felt like getting a bit of my own back on some of the people who'd conned and flattered me into wasting all those years.'
In this wry, piercing short story from one of the greatest of all British postwar writers, an aging poet considers the value of his art - and of the critics who've found genius in it. Then, with his final work, he exercises a unique revenge. . .
Both books in overall good condition, slight edges, cover etc wear, lightly tanned pages. see the photos.
