Présentation de l'éditeur
Imogen Langrishe, youngest of the four Langrishe sisters, whose name has long meant money, status and respect to the people of Celbridge, County Kildare, embarks on a reckless love affair. Set against the backdrop of a crumbling 1930s Europe, Aidan Higgins's classic novel depicts the demise of the old order of power in Ireland, as Imogen's loss of inhibition leads her deeper into the sensual yet lonely world of despair and heartbreak. Langrishe Go Down was first published in 1966 and won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Irish Academy of Letters Award, and was made into a film with a screenplay by Harold Pinter.

Softcover. Etat : Fine. Langrishe, Go Down traces the fall of the Langrishes - a once wealthy, highly respected Irish family - through the lives of their four daughters, especially the youngest, Imogen, whose love affair with a self-centered German scholar resonates throughout the book. Their relationship, told in erotic and occasionally melancholic prose, comes to represent not only the invasion and decline of this insular family, but the decline of Ireland and Western Europe as a whole in the years preceeding World War II.
