Produktinformationen zu „The Napoleon of Notting Hill “
Klappentext zu „The Napoleon of Notting Hill “
London, 1984. England has given up on democracy and selects its rulers by lottery. This time it is the turn of clerk Auberon Quin, a prankster who decrees that each borough of London become an independent mediaeval state, complete with costumes and coats of arms. The citizens bear his joke with varying levels of patience - until Adam Wayne, the intractable Provost of Notting Hill, sword in hand, takes the game far too seriously. First published in 1904, G. K. Chesterton's deliriously eccentric debut novel is a wild, topsy-turvy satire on a land ruled by fools.

Pressezitat
More modern than the moderns, more medieval than the medievalists, funnier than all of them-reading Chesterton today is like watching someone give a speech of unimpeachable common sense from the bridge of a departing UFO The Atlantic
