The Unbearable Bassington by Saki
At the centre of the book is Cormus Bassington, 'the beautiful wayward laughing boy, with his naughtiness, his exasperating selfishness, his insurmountable folly and perverseness, his cruelty that spared not even himself', in whom Saki invested his own ambiguous feelings for youth and his fierce indignation at the ravages of time.
H. H. Munro (1870-1916), better known as Saki, served as a foreign correspondent for several leading English periodicals of the early 20th century. A master of the short story, he satirized the conventions and hypocrisies of Edwardian England.
