Condition: Bueno. : Sebastian Faulks is the author of seven previous novels, includingBirdsong(1993),The Girl at the Lion d'Or(1989),Charlotte Gray(1998),On Green Dolphin Street(2001) andHuman Traces(2005). He is also the author of a biographical study,The Fatal Englishman(1996). From the Hardcover edition.One My name is Mike Engleby, and I'm in my second year at an ancient university. My college was founded in 1662, which means it's viewed here as modern. Its chapel was designed by Hawksmoor, or possibly Wren; its gardens were laid out by someone else whose name is familiar. The choir stalls were carved by the only woodcarver you've ever heard of. The captain of the Boat Club won a gold medal at an international games last year. (I think he 's studying physical education.) The captain of cricket has played for Pakistan, though he talks like the Prince of Wales. The teachers, or 'dons', include three university professors, one of whom was on the radio recently talking about lizards. He's known as the Iguanodon. Tonight I won't study in my room because there's the weekly meeting of the Folk Club. Almost all the boys in my college go to this, not for the music, though it's normally quite good, but because lots of girl students come here for the evening. The only boys who don't go are those with a work compulsion, or the ones who think folk music died when Bob Dylan went electric. There's someone I've seen a few times, called Jennifer Arkland. I discovered her name because she stood for election to the committee of a society. On the posters, the candidates had small pictures of themselves and, under their names and colleges, a few personal details. Hers said: 'Second-year History exhibitioner. Previously educated at Lymington High School and Sorbonne. Hobbies: music, dance, film-making, cooking. Would like to make the society more democratic with more women members and have more outings.' I'd seen her in the tea room of the University Library, where she was usually with two other girls from her college, a fat one called Molly and a severe dark one, whose name I hadn't caught. There was often Steve from Christ's or Dave from Jesus sniffing round them. I think I'll join this society of hers. It doesn't matter what it's for because they're all the same. They're all called something Soc, short for Society. Lab Soc, Lit Soc, Geog Soc. There 's probably a knitting group called Sock Soc. I'll find out about Jen Soc, then go along so I can get to know her better. I won a prize to come to my college and it pays my fees; my family's poor. I took a train from school one day after I'd sat the exams and had been called for interview. I must have stayed in London on the way, but I have no memory of it. My memory's odd like that. I'm big on detail, but there are holes in the fabric. I do remember that I took a bus from the station, though I didn't know then what my college looked like. I went round the whole city and ended up back at the station, having made the round trip. Then I took a taxi and had to borrow some money from the porter to pay for it. I still had a pound note in my wallet for emergencies. They gave me a key to a bedroom; it was in a courtyard that I reached by a tunnel under the road. I imagined what kind of student lived there normally. I pictured someone called Tony with a beard and a duffel coat. I tried really hard to like the room and the college that was going to be mine. I imagined bicycling off to lectures in the early morning with my books balanced on a rack over the back wheel. I'd be shouting out to the other guys, 'See you there!' I'd probably smoke a pipe. I'd also probably have a girlfriend ? so EAN: 9780099458272 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Misterios|Ficción literaria|Ficción contemporánea (Libros) Título: Engleby Autor: Fiell, Charlotte & Peter Editorial: VINTAGE Idioma: EN Páginas: 352 Peso: 281.
