Book Description
The 'SAKI - Ultimate Collection: 145 Novels & Short Stories; Including Plays, Sketches & Historical Study' anthology is a comprehensive gathering that underscores the wit, irony, and discerning critique of Edwardian society encapsulated in the works of H. H. Munro, known by his pen name Saki. This collection showcases a remarkable diversity of literary styles - from the succinct satire of his short stories to the nuanced drama of his plays, and insightful sketches of the historical context in which he wrote. Notable for its inclusion of lesser-known works alongside celebrated stories, this anthology offers a unique lens through which to view the breadth of Saki's literary contributions and understanding of human nature and societal follies. The contributing authors, in this case, Saki himself, with his distinct literary persona, provides a vivid tableau of the social mores and the undercurrents of discontent that characterized the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods. His keen observation, coupled with a sharp, often dark humor, captures the complexities and contradictions of his time, making his work an important part of literary and cultural discussions of the early 20th century. For readers seeking to immerse themselves in the Edwardian period through the prism of satire and to appreciate the craft of short storytelling at its finest, 'SAKI - Ultimate Collection' is an invaluable compilation. Offering not just entertainment but also a deep, multi-faceted historical perspective, this anthology is a testament to the enduring relevance of Sakis works. Scholars, enthusiasts, and new readers alike will find in this collection a rich source of study, reflection, and enjoyment, bridging the gap between literary art and historical insight.

Edward Frederic Benson (1867–1940) was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist and short story writer, known professionally as E.F. Benson. He started his novel writing career in 1893 with the fashionably controversial Dodo, which was an instant success, and followed it with a variety of satire and romantic and supernatural melodrama. He repeated the success of Dodo, with sequels to this novel, but the greatest success came relatively late in his career with The Mapp and Lucia series consisting of six novels and two short stories. The novels feature humorous incidents in the lives of (mainly) upper-middle-class British people in the 1920s and 1930s, vying for social prestige and one-upmanship in an atmosphere of extreme cultural snobbery. Benson was also known as a writer of atmospheric, oblique, and at times humorous or satirical ghost stories.
