L'escalier de Riceyman

Publié par Éditions de L'Olivier, le 26 mars 1993

Résumé

Henry Earlforward, a shabby Clerkenwell bookseller, has retired from life to devote himself (and his wife Violet) to a consuming passion for money. Miserliness, long disguised as procrastination, can become a fatal illness. Bennett's bleak story is saved, however, by the Earlforwards' maid Elsie: buxom, warm, ignorant, and sublime in her spontaneous greed for life. Riceyman Steps is a modernist masterpiece; a profound psychological and symbolic exploration of the forces of love and death.
