Summary

Robert Graves: A toast to Ava Gardner

Before you is a book of collected stories by Robert Graves, which this great writer published in various American and British newspapers and magazines, such as New Yorker, Punch, Saturday Evening Post, Playboy, Sports Illustrated or New Statesman. The specific genre of the newspaper story almost did not survive in the new millennium, but Graves's prose remains a monument to pithy, witty, surprising and, above all, interesting storytelling. Divided into three cycles (English stories, Roman stories and Stories from Mallorca), the stories in the book follow three key stages of the writer's life: the first, the one in which he dealt with the ghosts of the First World War in post-war England, the second, in which he wrote the world's greatest hits in the historical novel genre that dealt mainly with the themes of ancient Greece and Rome, and the third, in which he lived to a long old age in self-chosen exile on a Spanish Mediterranean island Mallorcans.
Robert Graves (1895-1985) is one of the most respected and influential English poets of the 20th century, and as a novelist he achieved great success by popularizing historical themes in a completely non-trivial way, giving the characters of his novels contemporary liveliness and plasticity. The translation of Graves' collected stories is part of Sandorf's project of publishing the Selected Works of Robert Graves - updating the high-quality genre prose of the great English stylist.
