Quatrième de couverture :
The bestselling story of Joe Lampton, the original 'angry young man'
'I was a devil of a fellow. I was the lover of a married woman, I was taking out the daughter of one of the richest men in Warley, there wasn't a damn thing I couldn't do.'
The ruthlessly ambitious Joe Lampton rises swiftly from the petty bureaucracy of local government into the unfamiliar world of inherited wealth, fast cars and glamorous women. But the price of success is high and betrayal and tragedy strike as Joe Lampton pursues his goals.
'A harsh, accurate, powerful piece of story-telling' Tribune
'Remarkable... Room at the Top communicates so successfully the mingled bitterness and bravery of youth' Sunday Times
'He has real talent' C.P. Snow

John Gerard Braine (April 13, 1922 - October 28, 1986) was an English novelist. Born in Bradford, Yorkshire, Braine left St. Bede's Grammar School at sixteen and worked in a shop, a laboratory and a factory before becoming, after the war, a librarian. Although he wrote twelve works of fiction, Braine is chiefly remembered today for his first novel, Room at the Top (1957), which was also turned into a successful film (1959). Braine is usually associated with the Angry Young Men movement.
