And Even Now
by Max Beerbohm
'And Even Now' Summary
In 'And Even Now,' Max Beerbohm's signature blend of humor, wit, and astute social observation shines through in a collection of essays that are as entertaining as they are insightful. Beerbohm's keen eye for the absurdities of upper-class life is evident in parodies and satirical observations, offering a witty critique of social customs and human foibles. The book delves into topics that range from the frivolous to the profound, including a self-deprecating examination of Beerbohm's early literary aspirations, a contemplative essay on the missing portrait of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and a humorous, yet pointed essay on the dynamics of domestic service. Through his sharp wit and insightful prose, Beerbohm offers a captivating journey through the complexities of human nature and the nuances of English society.Book Details
