Rent Travels with My Aunt (Classics Deluxe Edition)

Synopsis

The book is a comedy...and sometimes a farce, but it is also Mr. Greene's De Senectute, turned upon age and death....Turned toward death, the book implies, one longs for a way of life free from the venom of morality, grim death thwarted by happy days....The general tone is easy, the comedy liberal, the attitudes might even be described as generous if they were embodied in characters about whom we were invited to care. But most of these figures care so much for themselves that they do not need our concern.
