The undisputed master of the short story, Saki's name is synonymous with brilliant writing that satirises Edwardian Society. This complete edition of his plays (the first complete edition ever published) demonstrates the great writer's prowess as a playwright.

With his signature flair and razor-sharp wit, Saki is an undisputed master of the short story. His tales are by turns hilarious, festive, supernatural and macabre, but all offer fabulous, bite-sized satires of a decadent upper-class Edwardian world.

Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Russia, this collection of stories showcases Saki's signature wit and satirical style. Through clever narratives, the author critiques and reflects on Edwardian society, drawing inspiration from literary greats like Oscar Wilde and Lewis Carroll. Saki's mischievous characters and macabre twists highlight the absurdities of culture, leaving a lasting influence on future writers such as A. A. Milne and P. G. Wodehouse.

In two brilliant collections of stories, Reginald (1904) and Reginald in Russia (1910), which spanned the Edwardian period, Saki made his name as the predominant wit of the emergent twentieth century. As the new Georgian age dawned, his star was at its height: .."Sylvia, notwithstanding her name, was accustomed to nothing much more sylvan than "leafy Kensington." She looked on the country as something excellent and wholesome in its way, which was apt to become troublesome if you encouraged it overmuch..." ..".I love Americans, but not when they try to talk French. What a blessing it is that they never try to talk English..." ..".You needn't tell me that a man who doesn't love oysters and asparagus and good wines has got a soul, or a stomach either. He's simply got the instinct for being unhappy highly developed." In this volume, first published in 1911, he introduced a new titular character, albeit with a huge resemblance to both Reginald and himself. Clovis Sangrail is unsurprisable, louche in conversation, thoroughly determined to avoid the banal. In this magnificent collection, he observes the ludicrous with an unswerving eye, and undermines it with rapier-like skill, while gleefully and covertly turning all to his advantage. Saki had announced himself as the brief Edwardian flame burnt itself out; with the brilliance of this volume he made it plain that he had no intention of fading away.

Set against the backdrop of a post-war London under German occupation, the story follows Murrey Yeovil, who returns from a hunting trip to find his life irrevocably changed. As he navigates a city transformed by war, he grapples with personal loss, shifting loyalties, and the pervasive atmosphere of fear and surveillance. The novel explores themes of espionage and survival while reflecting on the societal impacts of conflict and the call for national conscription. Saki's work serves as a poignant commentary on the anxieties of the time.

From Saki's humorous tales to Lovecraft's eerie narrative, and Poe's haunting story, each piece highlights different aspects of feline life and their impact on humanity.

The Westminster Alice is a collection of humorous vignettes by Saki, first published in the Westminster Gazette in 1902, which form a political pastiche of the Alice books by Lewis Carroll, featuring an unforgettable cast of notable politicians of the day, and brought to life with illustrations by F. Carruthers Gould - 'with apologies to Sir John Tenniel' for their striking likeness to the original Alice illustrations. Desperately trying to navigate her way through the world of Ineptitudes, Knights, Queens and Mad Hatters, Alice delivers a stinging satire of Westminster politics - which, imbued with Saki's charm and delicate wit, and set in a world evocative of Carroll's timeless Wonderland, is as charming today as when it was written, and belongs on every Alice fan's bookshelf.

Exploring the interplay between humans and animals, this collection features short stories that reflect Saki's signature cynicism and wry humor. First published in 1914, it includes notable works like "The Open Window," which remains popular in anthologies. As Saki's final compilation before his death in World War I, the stories blend simple language with sharp observations, making it a significant part of his literary legacy. The title cleverly parodies George Bernard Shaw's work, highlighting Saki's playful engagement with contemporary themes.

I něco tak absurdního, jako je vůl požírající sousedčiny chryzantémy, může člověku zajistit úctu a obdiv široké veřejnosti (pokud je malířem dobytka). Postavy Sakiho povídek jsou pro takové uznání ochotny udělat ledacos; zaplatit za lov přestárlého tygra, proměnit svou hostitelku ve vlčici či zavést bohatou tetičku do kasina. Se svým typicky suchým, ironickým humorem Saki líčí, jak nečekaná rozuzlení takové snahy často mívají a jak směšné až groteskní bývá lidské úsilí udržet si své místo ve společnosti. „Člověk je bytost dvou tváří a cokoli, co nebere v potaz tu odvrácenou, působí uměle a mrtvě,“ říká Clovis Sangrail, cynický pozorovatel a vypravěč velké části příběhů. Vystihuje tím samu podstatu autorovy satiry – ustrnulé konvence a snobské rituály jsou jen jednou stránkou lidské povahy; ta druhá, chybující, živelná a komická si vždy znovu nalézá způsob, jak se projevit.Některé povídky vycházejí v češtině vůbec poprvé, ostatní se dočkaly nového překladu.

H.H. Munro, better known by his pen name, Saki, wrote wickedly comic satires of upper-class Edwardian life. These seven short stories are macabre and extremely funny- they include a cat that is regrettably taught to speak, a vicious pet ferret worshipped as a god, a businessman triumphantly selling an unpalatable breakfast mush, and many dark twists and barbs.

Featuring a masterful blend of wit and satire, this collection showcases Saki's sharp critique of Edwardian society through intricate characters and rich political commentary. Beginning with the "Reginald" stories, readers are introduced to the cynical young protagonist navigating societal norms. The anthology also includes Saki's acclaimed works such as "Reginald in Russia," "The Chronicles of Clovis," "Beasts and Super-Beasts," "The Toys of Peace," and "The Square Egg," each highlighting the often brutal clash between civilization and nature.

A collection of eighteen deliciously disturbing tales by Saki, the Edwardian master of the short story. Saki's sharp satire pierces the polite veneer of country house parties, hunting meets and evenings round the pianola. Wild beasts stampede through the drawing room, servants suffer murderous delusions and sinister children plot revenge on their elders. These witty, macabre and sometimes bizarre stories cut through the social conventions of the Edwardian upper classes.

A collection of witty, mischievous and sometimes macabre stories satirised Edwardian society and culture.

"The Hen and The Bull, are two stories from Saki, the famous English writer. [In the first], Dora and Jane are not friends, because of a hen. Jane is staying at Clovis Sangrail's house, and Dora is coming. How can Clovis stop her? [In the second], Laurence and Tom are brothers. One day they go to see Tom's bull - and the bull wants to play!"

Conradin is ten years old. He lives alone with his aunt. He has two big secrets. The first is that he hates his aunt. The second is that he keeps a small, wild animal in the garden shed. The animal has sharp, white teeth, and it loves fresh blood. Every night, Conradin prays to this animal and asks it to do one thing for him, just one thing. This collection of short stories is clever, funny, and shows us 'Nature, red in tooth and claw'. In other words, it is Saki at his very best.

(Saki, one of the most wickedly amusing writers of his day, was born Hector Hugh Munro in Burma, though he was educated in England. When his father retired from the Burma police they travelled widely together in Europe. In 1904 Reginald was published, his first volume of short stories, some of which are contained in this volume. This was followed by further collections and 'patriotic' sketches. He enlisted in 1914, refused a commission and was killed in France in 1916. The stories in this volume show Saki at his most acerbic, satirical and funny)

The extraordinary stories of 'Saki' are a mixture of humorous satire, irony and the macabre, in which the stupidities and hypocrisy of conventional society are viciously pilloried.

The complete works of one of England's greatest Edwardian writers Saki is perhaps the most graceful spokesman for England's 'Golden Afternoon' - the slow and peaceful years before the First World War. Although, like so many of his generation, he died tragically young, in action on the Western Front, his reputation as a writer continued to grow long after his death. His work is humorous, satiric, supernatural, and macabre, highly individual, full of eccentric wit and unconventional situations. With his great gift as a social satirist of his contemporary upper-class Edwardian world, Saki is one of the few undisputed English masters of the short story and one of the great writers of a bygone era.

Komické a groteskní povídky britského autora oscilující mezi nezávaznou recesí a závažnou výpovědí o temných stránkách lidské existence. Soubor úsměvných i chmurně fantastických povídek anglického spisovatele, který psal pod vlivem klasické ruské literatury a básní E. A. Poea. Novely vždy nějakým způsobem odrážejí zkušenosti z autorova neradostného dětství a útočí zejména na představitele zabezpečených měšťáckých vrstev, kteří jsou mu zosobněním společenské nespravedlnosti a lži. Základní tendence, které určují celou sbírku, jsou sžíravá ironie a vtip na jedné straně a hluboký, chápavý pohled na svět dítěte na straně druhé.... celý text
