Chronicles of Clovis Stories by Saki

Renowned for his witty dialogue and macabre humor, Saki skewered the pretensions and follies of the Edwardian age. This 1911 collection of well-plotted, acerbic short stories showcases his mastery of comic repartee. The tales recount the escapades of an irreverent socialite, Clovis Sangrail-a forerunner to the aristocratic Bertie Wooster of Jeeves fame. Saki's satires remain remarkably contemporary, offering paradoxical combinations of good-natured irony and cheerful cruelty. This compact anthology features some of his most popular stories, including.

  • "Hector Hugh Munro was a prolific British writer who worked in a variety of literary genres. Under the pen name Saki, he produced a series of plays and tales, many of which center around a sophisticated bon vivant called Clovis who delights in skewering the pretensions of his elders with a rapier-like wit. The stories collected in The Chronicles of Clovis will delight fans of P.G. Wodehouse, Rudyard Kipling, and Oscar Wilde."@en
  • "There are good things which we want to share with the world and good things which we want to keep to ourselves. The secret of our favorite restaurant, to take a case, is guarded jealously from all but a few intimates; the secret, to take a contrary case, of our infallible remedy for seasickness is thrust upon every traveler we meet, even if he be no more than a casual acquaintance about to cross the Serpentine."@en
