A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Corinthum. It is not everybodys good fortune to go to Corinth. It is also not everybodys good fortune to go to Peckham -still less to live there. But if you were one of the favoured few, and were wont to haunt the Peckham Road and High Street, the bent figure of Angelo Fardetti would have been as famihar to you as the vast frontage of the great Emporium which, in the drapery world, makes Peckham illustrious among London suburbs. You would have seen him humbly threading his way through the female swarms that clustered at the plate-glass windows the mere drones of the hive were fooling their frivolous fives away over ledgers in the City the inquiry of a lost dog in his patient eyes, and an unconscious challenge to Plufistia in the wiry bush of white hair that protruded beneath his perky soft felt hat. If he had been short, he might have passed unregarded; but he was very ta Uin his heyday he had been six foot two and very thin. You smile as you reca Uto mind the black frock-coat, somewhat white at the seams, which, tightly buttoned, had the fit of a garment of corrugated iron.
