Kindness in a Corner

T.F. Powys

4.9/5 (19234 ratings)

Description:(from the publisher's website)Kindness in a Corner was originally published in 1930; after T.F Powys’s best known creation Mr Weston’s Good Wine and just before his final masterpiece Unclay. It is the author's most benign novel, abundantly infused with light comedy and wry, mordant humour, and it contains one breath-taking chapter in particular which many critics and readers consider one of the finest and most astonishing passages in all English literature. Perhaps, rather appropriately, Powys dedicated the novel to his friend and fellow author Sylvia Townsend Warner.'Kindness in a Corner is among the most purely enjoyable of Powys’s books and is thus a good introduction to its author’s rustic world. On the face of it a quaint and mannered piece of amiable literary whimsy full of touches of light satire, it introduces us to an absent-minded scholarly bachelor clergyman, devoted to his books, to his armchair, and to his dinner, a man who lives in a benevolent tranquility cared for by a tactful housekeeper … but for all its playfulness this is a novel that deals in the profounder human issues.’ - From the Introduction by Glen Cavaliero‘Theodore Powys is a master of English, and for this, for the exquisite texture of expression, he should be read, if for nothing else. But the reading will disclose much else, and especially a genius so rare it seems not of this earth, a humanness of spirit not frequently to be encountered, and a wit so exotic it will seem at times little other than perverse. And Kindness in a Corner displays all the Powys characteristics in their fullness and at their best.’ – New York TimesWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
