Revue de presse
"If there is a set-book of the Eighties, it is Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities. No other novel has achieved such a precise place in the imagination of the reading classes. With his first attempt at fiction Wolfe has become the 'Dickens or Balzac of his age'; the dandy journalist has become the towering genius" (The Times)
"Wolfe's modern morality tale displays the sardonic humour and sharp appreciation of the grotesque familiar to admirers of his non fiction... Savagely funny and compelling" (Guardian)
"The air of New York crackles with an energy that causes the adrenalin to pump, until one has the illusion that this is where the whole of life is taking place. The feeling is perfectly reproduced in Wolfe's novel, which opens such cans of worms as racial hostility, dress codes, political labelling and the cynical opportunism that governs every action. It's, well, electric" (Sunday Times)
"It's witty, sprawling and ambitious" (Daily Telegraph)
"Impossible to put down" (Wall Street Journal)
Quatrième de couverture
'An incandescent sizzler of a novel . . . A Day-Glo Dickens' Sunday Times
Sherman McCoy is a WASP, bond trader and self-appointed 'Master of the Universe'. He has a fashionable wife, a Park Avenue apartment and a Southern mistress. His spectacular fall begins the moment he is involved in a hit-and-run accident in the Bronx. Prosecutors, newspaper hacks, politicians and clergy close in on him, determined to bring him down.
The Bonfire of the Vanities is a caustic satire on the money-feverish Eighties. This exuberant novel cemented Wolfe's reputation as the foremost chronicler of his age.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good in Very Good DJ. First edition. First British printing, very good + black cloth hardcover shows just a hint of rubbing to letters at spine, name at top of front endpaper, age tanning to pages and some other light trace wear, in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket (publisher price sticker adjacent to clip) that shows a touch of wear as well. 659 pages. Still a solid copy in jacket of this notable novel from the bestselling author of The Right Stuff and others. N° de réf. du vendeur 30212
