درباره این ای-کتاب
After the immense success of 'Reginald', Hector Hugh Munro wrote a sequel to it i.e. 'Reginald in Russia'. In this book, Saki further narrates some more interesting and fun tales about the young man Reginald. Along with The Chronicles of Clovis, Beasts and Super-Beasts is one of Saki's best-known works. It was his final collection of stories before his death in World War I, and several of its stories, in particular "The Open Window", are reprinted frequently in anthologies.
درباره نویسنده
Hector Hugh Munro, better known by his pen name Saki, was a master of the short story whose wit and satirical prowess have left an indelible mark on English literature. Born on December 18, 1870, in Akyab, Burma (now Myanmar), Munro's early life was marked by tragedy, as his mother died when he was just two years old. Raised by aunts in England, his experiences with them would later inspire many of his most memorable characters.Saki's writing is characterized by its biting humor, keen social observation, and often macabre twists. He deftly skewered the pretensions and absurdities of Edwardian society, making his work both entertaining and thought-provoking. His stories often feature mischievous children, mischievous animals, and the occasional supernatural element, all delivered with a sharp, ironic tone.Controversy was never far from Munro's life or work. His outspoken views on politics and society, including his criticism of the suffragette movement and his conservative leanings, often put him at odds with the progressive currents of his time. Yet, his ability to capture the follies of human nature transcended political boundaries, earning him a diverse readership.Saki's influence on contemporary writers is profound. His mastery of the short story format and his unique voice have inspired authors such as P.G. Wodehouse, Roald Dahl, and Neil Gaiman. His revolutionary ideas about the darker aspects of human nature and the absurdity of social conventions continue to resonate today.Tragically, Munro's life was cut short during World War I. He enlisted in the British Army at the age of 43 and was killed by a German sniper in 1916. Despite his untimely death, Saki's legacy endures, his stories remaining a testament to his unparalleled wit and insight into the human condition.
