The Cornet-Player Who Betrayed Ireland
Beschreibung:
''Father,'' I said, feeling I might as well get it over while I had him in a good humour, ''I had it all arranged to kill my grandmother.''
Praised as Ireland''s Chekhov, Frank O''Connor was a modern master of the short story. From an amateur brass band divided by partisanship to English soldiers who befriend their Irish captors, and from a child''s comic confession to the end of a small-town friendship, these four humorous and tragic stories refract universal truths through the prism of 20th-century Ireland.
This book contains The Cornet-Player Who Betrayed Ireland, Guests of the Nation, A Story by Maupassant, and First Confession.
