Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Brilliant. . . . [Sillitoe] has assured himself a place in the history of the English novel."--The New Yorker

"That rarest of all finds: a genuine no-punches-pulled, unromanticised working class novel. Mr. Sillitoe is a born writer, who knows his milieu and describes it with vivid, loving precision."--Daily Telegraph

"Sillitoe's account of the rebellious young factory-fodder hero Arthur Seaton was timely when first published. . . . It is timeless now."--The Guardian

"One of the best English writers of the day." --The New York Times Book Review

"There are few writers around who can rival Sillitoe when it comes to the complicated business of noticing things." --Literary Review

"A master storyteller." --The Observer

"Miles nearer the real thing than D.H. Lawrence's mystic, brooding working-men ever came."--Sunday Express

"Outspoken and vivid."--Sunday Times, London

Reseña del editor:

A rousing, uproarious novel about the life, loves, and misadventures of a working-class rogue, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning marked the arrival of one of the most cherished authors of the twentieth century. At twenty-two, Arthur Seaton is a hard-drinking bicycle factory lathe operator. Sharp, rowdy, and attractive, he is a lover of life in the raw, and his enormous vitality comes pouring through at a family party, at the county fair, and in several pubs he haunts on Saturday nights, where more often than not he leaves with a woman on his arm. Before long, however, his devil-may-care existence gets him into some serious trouble, and Arthur's life takes a turn that not even he could have imagined.
