"A great writer who spoke brilliantly to a whole generation." - Alec Guinness
From the Publisher:
The best British writer of the twentieth century
‘A great writer who spoke brilliantly to a whole generation’ Alec Guinness
‘A great writer who spoke brilliantly to a whole generation’ Alec Guinness
Bertram was not a believer in luck or superstitions. An unambitious assistant accountant, his plans for his second marriage are typically quiet: St Luke’s, Maida Hill, then two weeks in Bournemouth. But then he comes to the attention of Dreuther, the director of Bertram’s company, who changes Bertram’s plans for him: wedding and honeymoon in Monte Carlo, on board his private yacht. Inevitably Bertram visits the casino, and inevitably he loses. But then his system starts working, and his trouble really begins...
‘Mr Greene’s extraordinary power of plot-making, of suspense and of narration...moves continuously both in time and space and in emotion’ Angus Wilson, The Times
‘One of the finest writers of any language’ Washington Post

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Bertram had no belief in luck. He was not superstitious. A conspicuously unsuccessful assistant accountant, he was planning to get married for the second time. Quite quietly: St Luke's, Maida Hill, and then two weeks in Bournemouth. But Dreuther, a director of Bertram's firm, whimsically switches wedding and honeymoon to Monte Carlo. Inevitably Bertram visits the Casino. Inevitably he loses. Then suddenly his system starts working . . . For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators. Luck seems to have eluded Betram altogether. He doesn't even believe in chance. But when his wedding plans are moved to Monte Carlo, he is drawn to the Casino and is seduced by good fortune. A Miramax film starring Robert Lindsay and Molly Ringwald. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780140185423
