The History Man: Picador Classic

English

By (author): Malcolm Bradbury

A ruthless satire of academic life, The History Man by Malcolm Bradbury is a witty campus novel and one of the most influential books of the 1970s.

With an introduction by James Naughtie.


Take a Valium. Have a party. Go on a demo. Shoot a soldier. Make a bang. Bed a friend. Thats your problem-solving system . . . But havent we tried all that?

Howard Kirk, product of the Swinging Sixties, radical university lecturer, and one half of a very modern marriage, is throwing a party. The night will have all sorts of repercussions: for Henry Beamish, Howards desperate and easily neglected friend, and for Howards wife, promiscuous 70s liberal and exhausted victim of motherhood.

Funny, disconcerting and provocative, Bradbury's classic novel brilliantly satirizes a world of academic power struggles as his anti-hero seduces his away around campus. But is also reveals a marriage in crisis and demonstrates the fragility of the human heart.
