Items related to A Legacy (Penguin Twentieth Century Classics S.)
In this deeply involved study of the German Upper Class before 1914 , Sybille Bedford has re-created a way of life in a manner that is absorbing, moving and sometimes very funny. The story concerns Julius, the essential pathos of his life, and therich Europe in which he moved and in which the most eccentric individualism was always embedded in binding taboos.

Synopsis:
Against the background of the Kaiser's Germany - dotty, militaristic, doomed - and the Europe of which it forms a part, two families are joined in marriage. Out of this marriage emerges a political and social legacy that is both funny and profound.
About the Author:
Born in Charlottenburg and educated privately in England, Italy and France, Sybille Bedford is also the author of the forthcoming Twentieth Century Classics A FAVOURITE OF THE GODS, JIGSAW and A COMPASS ERROR.
