Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The novel "Caprice" was written by English author Ronald Firbank, who is renowned for his unique and unusual writing style. A satirical work by Firbank, "Caprice" was published in 1917 and humorously and absurdly examines the lives of the upper class. The lifestyles of strange characters in a made-up European location are the focus of this satirical comedy book. The wit, colourful language, and dialogue-based style of Firbank's writing all work together to highlight the ridiculousness of society rules and customs. In "Caprice," he uses a sequence of short stories and scenes to create a striking image of a society in which social mores are both distorted and violated. All things considered, "Caprice" is a scathing and humorous examination of the customs and peculiarities of the upper class, delivered with Firbank's distinct literary flare. "Caprice" is a thought-provoking and enjoyable book for those who enjoy satire and unique storytelling. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
