Connolly C., Enemies of Promise — 1979 (Penguin Modern Classics)
Аннотация: Today the enemies of promise that Cyril Connolly describes-politics, conversation, drink, domesticity, journalism, wordly success-still take their toll of writers of talent; and his evaluations of Joyce, Proust, Firbank,Woolf,Huxley,Hemingway,Faulkner and others, remain as fresh and as penetrating. So too does his brilliant and bitterly honest account of his schooldays at Eton whose golden hours 'of power and popularity, success and failure, beauty and time' were to cast over the young man such an obsessive and nostalgic shadow.
