Rose Macaulay

4.9/5 (13121 ratings)

Description:Rose Macaulay was one of the most popular satirical novelists of her day. In this lively, ancedotal collection, she turns her admittedly opinionated attention to life's random, and largely unrecorded pleasures. From astronomy to new cars, church-going to turtles in Hyde Park, she never fails to delight and amuse with her sure philosophical sense, sharp wit, and unerring eye for life's subtler ironies. "How true it is that every pleasure has also its reverse side, in brief, its pain. Therefore, I have added to most of my pleasures the little flavor of bitterness, the flaw in their perfections...which tang their sweetness and remind us of their mortality and our own, and that nothing in this world is perfect."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
