Memoirs of a Fox-hunting Man

The world he grows up in, of village cricket and loyal grooms, had vanished forever by the time Sassoon wrote this book, but he captures it with a lyricism and gentleness that defy nostalgia. A bestseller on publication in 1928, this superb evocation of the Edwardian age has remained in print ever since.

Lumea in care a crescut, a greierelor din sat si a mirilor loiali, disparuse pentru totdeauna in momentul in care Sassoon a scris aceasta carte, dar o surprinde cu un lirism si o blandete care sfideaza nostalgia. Un bestseller la publicare in 1928, aceasta superba evocare a epocii Edwardian a ramas tiparita de atunci.
