Revue de presse :
Country Life Magazine majorly contributed to the craze for the super duper pish-posh welly-wally style of countrified living in Edwardian England think The Great Gatsby or Brideshead Revisited. This book presents a selection of articles from the Country Life archives, sharing all the essential tips on pipe-smoking, ferreting and how to have the best shooting lunches. There are also in-depth musings on top hats and which ammo you need to take on an elephant. Like we said, all the essentials. Being a gentleman takes much more than merely dressing the part, apparently, as the detailed chapters on subjects like idleness backs up. And that s the best thing about this book it doesn t even know it s funny. For the upper classes, this was the norm. We suggest you read this with your tongue firmly lodged in your cheek don t take it seriously or you ll fall into a relentless bitter rage, realising you can t buy a tweed coat on low-risk betting wins alone. This is a look inside the lifestyle of the original rah. --Loaded magazine
Présentation de l'éditeur :
The rich and largely unseen archive of Country Life dates back to 1897. In Gentleman's Pursuits, the doors are thrown open and a host of fascinating details emerge. Country Life contributed hugely to the cult of country sports in late Victorian/Edwardian England, and there is an enormous wealth of material from the time, of which a choice selection is presented here. Within this volume are found tips on pipe-smoking for discerning males, advice on gun dogs, rules about how to lay on the best shooting lunches (usually involving long trips to Fortnum and Mason's), detailed musings on tweed coats and caps, intense discussions on the correct ammo with which to take on a rogue elephant, and all you ever want to know about fishing tackle.

Description du livre Etat : new. (Hardcover, 2012). 2012 1st edition. 8vo (158 x 208mm). Ppxii,243 + 1pp ads. B/w photographs and illustrations. Grey boards, spine titled in gilt. Fine new copy in dust-wrapper. "Being a gentleman takes much more than merely dressing the part. Which horse to back in the 3.15 at Sandown, what gun to take for an elephant or a duck and how to sail a model yacht - all are important to the mannered man. From its very first publication, Country Life's pages were full of the most valuable knowledge, covereing every aspect of adventure, manners, dress and sporting excellence to which a gentleman should aspire." "Somerset Maugham wrote that the only value of being a gentleman lay in the fact that it wasn't a pretence. This privileged look into the archives of Country Life shows us the real gentleman at work and at play. Beyond the classic triumvirate of hunting, shooting and fishing, we have meditations on idleness, expert analysis of pipe smoking and ruminations on the charm of early motoring. And all this alongside the most exacting of sartorial advice: Country Life well knew that only God forgives the badly dressed." Contents include:- "Manners maketh man"; Handy hints; The man of fashion; The great and the good; Hunting and horsemanship; Shooting; Fishing; The playing field; Aviation and motoring; Schooldays; Curiosities and oddities; Pastimes and study.
