Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. Erstwhile remainders w/little red Random House stamp on text blocks, jacketless, in Very Good condition & sold together. THE DEATH OF THE HEART, 12th printing, May 1978, 418pp, clean & tight, appears unread. "THE DEATH OF THE HEART is perhaps Elizabeth Bowen's best-known book. As she deftly and delicately exposes the cruelty that lurks behind the polished surfaces of conventional society, Bowen reveals herself as a masterful novelist who combines a sense of humor with a devastating gift for divining human motivations. [] In this piercing story of innocence betrayed set in the thirties, the orphaned Portia is stranded in the sophisticated and politely treacherous world of her wealthy half-brother's home in London.There she encounters the attractive, carefree cad Eddie. To him, Portia is at once child and woman, and he fears her gushing love. To her, Eddie is the only reaason to be alive. But when Eddie follows Portia to a sea-side resort, the flash of a cigarette lighter in a darkened cinema illuminates a stunning romantic betrayal--and sets in motion one of the most moving and desperate flights of the heart in modern literature." [publisher copy] "A witty, lucid, and beautiful psychological novel. . . By far her best book."--The New Yorker. "Bowen is a major writer. . . She is what happened after Bloomsbury . . . the link that connects Virginia Woolf with Iris Murdoch and Muriel Spark."--Victoria Glendinning. THE COLLECTED STORIES OF ELIZABETH BOWEN, First American Edition 1981, Introduction by Angus Wilson, 784pp, slightly soiled spine & several ink spots on top edges of white boards, no interior markings, substantial Borzoi w/deckle edged pages. "This collection brings together seventy-nine magnificent stories written over the course of four decades. Vividly featuring scenes of bomb-scarred London during the Blitz, frustrated lovers, acutely observed children, and even vengeful ghosts, these stories reinforce Bowen's reputation as an artist whose finely chiseled narratives--rich in imagination, psychological insight, and craft--transcend their time and place." [publisher copy] "Quite simply one of the best short story writers who ever lived."--Newsweek. "Bowen's stories show the awesome capabilities of the English language and the surprise and mystery of the human soul."--Anne Tyler. "Bowen's stories are novels that have been split open like rocks and reveal the glitter of the naked crystals which have formed them."--V.S. Pritchett. "Richly reconfirms the extraordinary contribution Elizabeth Bowen has made to English letters."--Eudora Welty. Jacketless Knopf remainders w/brilliant corners & crisp edges; HEART has tight binding, STORIES binding is slightly sprung due to massive page count; both make a nice set.
