4.9/5 (23371 ratings)

Description:Alan Pryce-Jones ( 1908- 2000) was a late Bright Young Thing, as gregarious as any of that coterie and among the brightest (in later life he was Editor of the Times Literary Supplement).In the early Thirties he published two travel books but his journal, deposited at Lloyds Bank in Marlborough at the outbreak of war, is more revealing. It is almost immaterial where Pryce-Jones travels - Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Syria, Jordan, Greece, South and Central America and on the country house circuit- because he is cheerfully self-absorbed, determined to enjoy life, and not notably observant, except of people. Although homosexual, when he meets the vastly rich Fould-Springer family he courts and marries Poppy, one of the daughters. As they tour the spectacular Fould-Springer houses in a chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce, it occurs to him that the life of a grand seigneur may not be conducive to the writing of a work of art. As a psychological self-portrait Devoid of Shyness is curiously disarming.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
