A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

It was in the early eighties, over a shabby chemists shop in Wandsworth High Street, and it came of the union of Fulleymore Ransome, a little middle-aged chemist, weedy, parched, furtively inebriate, and his wife Emma, the daughter of John Randall, a draper. They called him John Randall Fulleymore Ransome, and Ranny for short. Ranny should have been born in lands of adventure, under the green light of a virgin forest, or on some illimitable prairie ;he should have sailed with the Vikings or fought with Cromwell s Ironsides ;or, better still, he should have run, half naked, splendidly pagan, bearing the torch of Marathon. And yet he bore his torch. From the very first his mother said that Ranny was that venturesome. He showed it in his ill-considered and ungovernable determination to be born, and it was hard to say which of them, Ranny or his mother, more nearly died of it. She must have been aware that there was a hitch somewhere ;for, referring again and again, as she did, to Rannys venturesomeness, she would say, It beats me where he gets it from.
