Unknown Author

4.9/5 (10188 ratings)

Description:This blast against a prosperous, virtuous middle-class society introduces to the literary scene a new writer who combines passion and virtuosity, fury and wit, in a combustible mixture. Stephen Hollis is the son of a wealthy and pious merchant whose life has been a ceaseless inquiry into sin–amuch-out inquiry of which Stephen is the prime object. Enraged by the sanctimonious hostility of his home life, Stephen lives in emotional and intellectual isolation until he meets Fabien–a wealthy, cultured and hedonistic young foreigner. Through Fabien he envisages a dazzling new way of life in which "warm human contact would penetrate the intellect while embracing the heart," and he sets out to intrench himself with his new friend by disposing of two great obstacles – his own inadequacy and a rival named Duncan. He's handsome and he's intelligent and very attractive indeed. Stephens' campaign, increasingly feverish and tortured, abject and malevolent, provides a brilliant and haunting study of homosexuality in process of development. This book is neither temperate nor kindly. It can not be a flippant read, or easily forgotten. The author's vast rage against the synthetic and cruel, emotional life and the "splendid isolation of the mind" that he finds everywhere, are conveyed with a sharp irony that will be felt long after the book is put away. His pitcure of utter vindictiveness, gathering force behind the façade of friendship is shocking, terrifying and disconcertingly recognisable.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
