The buttoned-up world of the British upper classes is exploded by the brilliance, wit and audacity of Saki´s bomb-like stories. In ´The Open Window´ an imaginative teenager gives a visitor the fright of his life. In ´The Unrest Cure´ the ordered home of a respectable country gent is rocked to its core. And ´Laura´ expresses the hope of revenge via reincarnation. For punchlines, twists, satire and pure mirth, Saki´s stories are second-to-none.

"One of the funniest writers in the English language... Saki was incapable of writing a dull sentence, but the final lines of his short stories are works of art in themselves" Daily Telegraph

Saki is the pen name of H. H. Munro, born in 1870 in Burma and educated in England. He began his writing career as a journalist and foreign correspondent but later turned to writing fiction - predominantly short stories for which he is best-remembered - as well as one history book. He was 43 when the First World War started. Although he was beyond the age of conscription, and although he was offered an officer´s commission, Saki joined the army as an ordinary trooper. He was killed in 1916 in France by a German sniper.
