Biographie de l'auteur
Iris Murdoch was born in Dublin in 1919. She read Classics at Somerville College, Oxford, and after working in the Treasury and abroad, was awarded a research studentship in philosophy at Newnham College, Cambridge. In 1948 she returned to Oxford as fellow and tutor at St Anne’s College and later taught at the Royal College of Art. Until her death in 1999, she lived in Oxford with her husband, the academic and critic, John Bayley. She was made a Dame of the British Empire in 1987 and in the 1997 PEN Awards received the Gold Pen for Distinguished Service to Literature.
Iris Murdoch made her writing debut in 1954 with Under the Net. Her twenty-six novels include the Booker prize-winning The Sea, The Sea (1978), the James Tait Black Memorial prize-winning The Black Prince (1973) and the Whitbread prize-winning The Sacred and Profane Love Machine (1974). Her philosophy includes Sartre: Romantic Rationalist (1953) and Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals (1992); other philosophical writings, including The Sovereignty of Good (1970), are collected in Existentialists and Mystics (1997).
Quatrième de couverture
COVER DESIGN BY ZANDRA RHODES
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JOHN BURNSIDE
'Dazzlingly entertaining and inventive' The Times
When Charles Arrowby retires from his glittering career in the London theatre, he buys a remote house on the rocks by the sea. He hopes to escape from his tumultuous love affairs but unexpectedly bumps into his childhood sweetheart and sets his heart on destroying her marriage. His equilibrium is further disturbed when his friends all decide to come and keep him company and Charles finds his seaside idyll severely threatened by his obsessions.
`Funny and poignant and arguably Murdoch's finest hour' Daily Express
Published by Vintage Classics in association with the Victoria and Albert Museum

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. Jacket after Hokusai (illustrateur). 1st Edition. First edition, third impression, published later the same year, a tribute to the book's popularity. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very slightly rubbed, spine very slightly yellowed, price clipped, no inscriptions, internally clean tight and almost square, overall a vg+ copy. 502pp. When Charles Arrowby retires from his glittering career in the London theatre, he buys a remote house on the rocks by the sea. He hopes to escape from his tumultuous love affairs but unexpectedly bumps into his childhood sweetheart and sets his heart on destroying her marriage. His equilibrium is further disturbed when his friends all decide to come and keep him company, and Charles finds his seaside idyll severely threatened by his past. Quite scarce in this early impression. N° de réf. du vendeur 011880
