Críticas

Praise for the Flashman series
"Hilariously funny."--The New York Times Book Review

"Great dirty fun!"--Grand Rapids Press

"The most entertaining anti-hero in a long time... Moves from one ribald and deliciously corrupt episode to the next... Wonderful and scandalous."--Publishers Weekly

"Raises dastardliness to the level of an art... One of the most amusing and sardonic novels I have ever read!"--Omaha World

"As irreverent and picaresque as Tom Jones and always more dramatic... Flashman is a one-man demolition squad!"--Chicago Today

"Marvelously entertaining... A delight!"--Providence Journal

Reseña del editor

A game of cards leads Flashman from the jungle death-house of Dahomey to the slave state of Mississippi as he dabbles in the slave trade in Volume III of the "Flashman Papers". When Flashman was inveigled into a game of pontoon with Disraeli and Lord George Bentinck, he was making an unconscious choice about his own future - would it lie in the House of Commons or the West African slave trade? Was there, for that matter, very much difference? Once again Flashman's charm, cowardice, treachery, lechery and fleetness of foot see the lovable rogue triumph by the skin of his chattering teeth.
