VINTAGE EDITIONS SHYNESS AND DIGNITY - DAG SO...

Nothing in Elias' measured life  in his whole career as a teacher of literature  in his
marriage to the 'indescribably beautiful' Eva  foreshadowed the events of that apparently
ordinary day. He makes sure he has his headache pills and leaves for work as he has done every
morning for the past twenty-five years.He is only too familiar with his pupils' hostile
attitude both to his lectures and to himself  but today he feels their impatience  their
oafishness  more painfully than ever before and  after their ritually dismissive and bored
response to his passionate lecture on Ibsen's The Wild Duck  he reaches a point of
crisis.Elegant  pocket-sized paperbacks  VINTAGE Editions celebrate the audacity and ambition
of the written word  transporting readers to wherever in the world literary innovation may be
found.
