  • "Gordon Comstock is a poor young man who works in a grubby London bookstore and spends his evenings shivering in a rented room, trying to write. He is determined to stay free of the "money world" of lucrative jobs, family responsibilities, and the kind of security symbolized by the homely aspidistra plant that sits in every middle-class British window."@en
  • ""[E]n el Londres de la década de 1930, cuando la mayoría de los burgueses adornaban su hogar con una aspidistra, símbolo de una existencia desahogada. Pero Gordon Comstock, el protagonista, un brillante redactor de eslóganes publicitarios, desprecia esa vida. Debería ser feliz: tiene una prometedora carrera por delante y una novia, Rosemary, que le quiere y le admira. Sin embargo, en realidad, Gordon se siente poeta. Un día lo lanza todo por la bordo: deja su trabajo y comienza a escribir un libro de poemas. Pero las delicias de la bohemia pronto se transforman en las desventuras de la pobreza. Embarcado en una lucha personal contra una sociedad explotadora, Gordon se ve arrastrado hacia la soledad y la marginalidad"--Page 4 of cover."
  • "Ironisch geschreven roman over het burgerlijke en onverwoestbare fatsoen van de Engelsman, waarvan de Sanseferia het symbool is."
  • "This new edition restores most of the material censored on first publication due to fears of action for libel, defamation and obscenity."@en
  • "Gordon Comstock refuses to be corrupted by the world around him and chooses a low paying job and a life of poverty over prosperity and family responsibilities; however, the more he struggles against the money god, the more he realizes that it is a futile journey."
  • "A poor young Londoner who disdains conventional lifestyles and goals works by day in a bookstore and writes by night in a cold rented room."
