A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY D. J. TAYLOR

'Henry Green's novels are among the most dazzling, inventive and individual of the last century' Daily Telegraph

These three brilliant novels span Henry Green's career as a novelist and display his unique talents as a writer. Nothing is a tale of the merry-go-round of love, marriage and infidelity, and the ceaseless tussle of innocence versus experience. Doting sets the middle-aged male infatuation for pretty girls against the comfortable affection of wives and old friends, delving into the complications of burgeoning affairs and boring marriages. In Blindness, Green's first novel, a young man is blinded in a senseless accident but thereafter discovers new imaginative powers.
