      Saki
      Tobermory and Other Stories

      2018 |

      'Tobermory' - the title story of this collection - is widely considered one of Saki's finest pieces, in which a short-sighted dinner-party guest introduces a talking cat to the diners, inadvertently revealing gossip and pushing fickle characters into the limelight - in the process undermining the common perceptions of …grandiose and genteel high society. From some of his earliest successes, such as 'Gabriel-Ernest', 'The Bag' and the Clovis stories, about a young man with an impish sense of humour, to later tales such as 'The Boar-Pig', which is as bizarre as it is hilarious, and 'The Toys of Peace', which he was never able to see in print, this selection contains a wealth of well-known tales with vastly different themes - from reincarnation to psychological warfare - and bearing every trademark token of wit with which Saki has enthralled generations of eager readers. Contains: The Blood-Feud of Toad-Water, Gabriel-Ernest , The Bag, The Mouse, Esmé , Tobermory, Mrs Packletide's Tiger, Hermann the Irascible, The Unrest-Cure, The Jesting of Arlington Stringham, Sredni Vashtar, The Chaplet, Filboid Studge, The Music on the Hill, The Hounds of Fate, The She-Wolf, Laura, The Boar-Pig, The Open Window, The Schartz-Metterklume Method, The Storyteller, The Lumber Room, The Philanthropist and the Happy Cat, The Toys of Peace, Tea, A Bread-and-Butter Miss, Bertie s Christmas Eve, Forewarned, The Interlopers and The Bull Alma Classics is committed to make available the widest range of literature from around the globe. All the titles are provided with an extensive critical apparatus, extra reading material including a section of photographs and notes. The texts are based on the most authoritative edition and edited using a fresh, intelligent editorial approach. With an emphasis on the production, editorial and typographical values of a book, Alma Classics aspires to revitalize the whole experience of reading the classics.

      Saki

      Saki jsou lázeňské město poblíž Černého moře v rovinaté západní části Krymu, sporném území považovaném za část Ukrajiny, ale ovládaném od Krymské krize Ruskem. Leží asi 4 km od mořského pobřeží, na břehu přilehlého slaného Sackého jezera, na železniční trati spojující Simferopol a Jevpatorii . V roce 2006 zde žilo 26 400 obyvatel, z toho 66 % tvořili Rusové, 25 % Ukrajinci, 6,1 % Krymští Tataři. Z malé vesnice se po otevření prvních bahenních lázní v Rusku přeměnily v poklidné lázeňské město.
