Vendeur : Crappy Old Books, Barry, Royaume-Uni
Paperback. Etat : Used. Imagine it?s the early 1980s, and you?re curled up in your rather musty armchair, dressed in your most flamboyant knitwear?possibly a cardigan knitted by a relative who mistook the word ?fashion? for ?frustration.? You are clutching a book titled ?The Devil On Lammas Night? by Susan Howatch, a title that sounds more like a cryptic crossword clue than a novel, yet promises a tale of intrigue, mischief, and perhaps a sprinkling of sacrilege. In a time when disco balls glimmered and the Cold War brewed just below the surface, Howatch invites readers to a night where the devil may?or may not?be in the details. Authored by someone who appears to have a penchant for the supernatural tinged with irony, ?The Devil On Lammas Night? could just be a metaphor for those particularly awkward family gatherings where Uncle Gerald insists on discussing his conspiracy theories over a plate of lukewarm sausage rolls. Or it might just be a riveting read about the occult, set against a backdrop of a countryside village that has more secrets than apple trees. One can only speculate. One imagines that the Lammas Night in question is not likely to be a celebration of harvest but more of a harvest of woe, with the devil playing the role of an unwelcome guest?perhaps the sort who overindulges in the punch and then insists on telling ghost stories at the witching hour, regardless of the fact that you explicitly requested no such thing. This book seems to suggest that Lammas Night could be just as well marked by petty squabbles and the occasional backstab as it is by any sort of revelry. This is where you find yourself contemplating the deeper meanings of life and the oddity of human nature. When faced with the philosophical musings of the devil?who, let?s be honest, probably has an incredible sense of humour?how does one make sense of the chaos? Or perhaps, the chaos makes sense all on its own, like a jigsaw puzzle missing half its pieces, yet still managing to resemble a beautiful landscape of confusion. As readers turn the pages, they may find themselves asking whether the true villain is the devil, or if it?s merely the social constructs and rigid expectations of society that bind us tighter than an ill-fitted pair of trousers. Howatch?s prose, sharp and refreshing as a pint of warm cider on a damp evening, beckons the reader to unearth not just the plot but the very essence of their own existence in the grand tapestry of human folly. Condition: Used but lovingly so, this copy may bear the scars of previous adventures, with dog-eared pages and annotations that might lead you down a rabbit hole of half-formed thoughts and whimsical musings left by its former owner. Each little blemish and smudge tells a story of its own, much like the characters within its pages, who are likely embroiled in their own labyrinth of existential quandaries. The spine is still intact, which, let?s face it, is a miracle in itself for a book this age, hinting that it was lovingly read rather than merely displayed as a conversation starter for those who enjoy the ?look at me, I read? aesthetic. Thus, as you hold ?The Devil On Lammas Night? in your hands, consider it a time capsule of its era, a slightly warped mirror reflecting the eccentricities of human nature and the mischief that lurks just beneath the surface of everyday life. Whether you?re seeking literary enlightenment or simply a night of peculiar entertainment, this book promises not just a tale, but an experience that will linger long after the final page has been turned. Indulge in a quirky exploration of the dark side of human nature, and perhaps embrace the absurdity of life with a copy from Crappy Old Books?where every book?s story continues, no matter how worn-out it appears. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. N° de réf. du vendeur 1821
