Bachelors

Spiritualist and extortionist Patrick Seton is coming up for trial. He's been accused of forgery, and suddenly West London's bachelors are all in a tizzy. Described by Evelyn Waugh as the 'cleverest and most elegant of all Mrs Spark's clever and elegant books', The Bachelors is a biting comedy of English manners.

Un avocat, un preot, un detectiv, un irlandez indragostit, un expert in scriere de mana, un mediu spiritual atragator - tocmai burlacii britanici ai romanului suprem al lui Muriel Spark din 1960 vin in fiecare dunga. La Fortnum, burlacii confortabili (asa cum ar putea ghici orice cititor de scanteie) nu sunt pregatiti sa ramana confortabili mult timp.
