Beschrijving
The History Man is Malcolm Bradbury’s razor-sharp satire of academic life in the 1970s. In this campus novel, the radical university lecturer Howard Kirk hosts a party that unleashes a cascade of consequences for his best friend Henry Beamish and for his wife, a liberal mother navigating the era’s shifting mores. Funny, disconcerting and provocative, the novel exposes power struggles within university life and the fragility of human relationships, all wrapped in Bradbury’s distinctive wit. This fiftieth anniversary edition is presented as part of the Picador Collection, which showcases modern literary classics.
The fiftieth-anniversary edition revisits the novel’s themes with the same sharp edge that made it influential. The story follows Kirk, a product of the Swinging Sixties, as he maneuvers through campus politics and personal entanglements, revealing a marriage under strain and a world where academic prestige collides with intimate crises.
