This is the story of Ned Maddstone, a very nice young man who is about to find out just what hell it can be to be one of the stars' tennis balls. Timing is everything in life, and his life is about to change forever. Previous ed.: 2001.
"Dans les années 70, à la suite d'une banale affaire de jalousie entre étudiants, le jeune et brillant Ned Maddstone se retrouve mêlé malgré lui à des activités terroristes qui le conduisent dans un asile psychiatrique sur une île où il reste enfermé pendant vingt ans. Il revient alors dans le monde d'aujourd'hui pour se venger. L'adaptation anglaise et contemporaine du "Comte de Monte-Cristo"."
"Ned hat alles, wovon andere Jungs mit 18 nur träumen: gute Noten, eine sportliche Figur, den richtigen Akzent, eine schöne Freundin. Doch ein missgünstiges Trio spielt ihm einen üblen Streich. Als Ned spurlos verschwindet, erfahren seine Widersacher, dass sie nicht ihres Glückes Schmiede, sondern nur "der Sterne Tennisbälle" sind. Stephen Fry hat endlich aufgehört zu stehlen und lügt auch wesentlich weniger. Hin und wieder verschweigt er seine Tätigkeit als Schriftsteller, Schauspieler, Moderator, Kolumnist und Regisseur und gibt sich stattdessen als Primaballerina des Mariinski-Theaters aus. In Wirklichkeit kann er nichts so richtig und macht deshalb alles. Sein exzentrischer Charakter erklärt sich durch seine krumme Nase und den halben Zentimeter, der er kleiner ist als Monty-Python-Legende John Cleese. Sein neues Buch schliesst nahtlos an 'Columbus war ein Engländer' an. Ausserdem bei Aufbau lieferbar: 'Der Lügner', 'Das Nilpferd', 'Geschichte machen', 'Paperweight', 'Der Sterne Tennisbälle' und 'Feigen, die fusseln'"
"Uit afgunst zorgen zijn vrienden dat een 17-jarige schooljongen wordt opgepakt door de politie, maar dit geintje loopt op allerlei manieren uit de hand."
"The story of a very nice young man called Ned Maddstone who, 20 years after being seized outside a Knightsbridge language college and thrown into solitary confinement as a political prisoner, returns to London implacably focused upon revenge."
