Описание книги
About the product This collection includes two works representing different facets of the talent of Christopher Isherwood — a subtle, lyrical psychologist and caustic satirist. «A Lonely Man» — a poignant story of one day, an elderly Englishman, a professor at an American university. Most recently, he experienced an irreparable loss, but with the last bit of strength he tries to pretend that everything is in order, and tries to live on. However, every day plunges him deeper and deeper into the bitter «loneliness in the crowd.» Violet Prater, on the other hand, is a hilarious odyssey of a young writer around the world of the «golden age» of 1930s cinema, with its «brilliance and poverty» of undercover intrigue and professional ambitions, ridiculous scenarios, real and fictional intrigues of competitors and everything else that usually escapes the spotlights.
