3 by Beerbohm
Three Novels by Max Beerbohm
Narrated by Graham Scott
Max Beerbohm (1872 – 1956) was an English essayist, satisist, artist and broadcaster, who was active in an extensive literary circle which included such luminaries as Somerset Maugham, Truman Capote, Evelyn Waugh, Ezra Pound and Edmund Wilson. For fity years he lived in Rapallo in Italy, but never learned to speak Italian.
This collection contains three of his best-known works of fiction.
In 'The Happy Hypocrite', mischievous Cupid compels disreputable Lord George Hell to win the love of sweet young Jenny Mere by assuming a saintly mask of true love to disguise his own wicked features. 'Zuleika Dobson', acclaimed as one of the finest satirical novels in the English language, tells the story of the effect of the devastatingly attractive Miss Dobson on the all-male undergraduate body of Oxford, culminating in a watery end to the Eights Week boat races. And in 'Seven Men' - described by Virginia Woolf as "a little masterpiece" - Beerbohm blurs the boundary between fact and fiction to tell the incredible stories of six men (Beerbohm himself is the seventh) from the world of the 1890s.
