Beschreibung

<p><b>An exhilarating satire of Eighties excess that captures the effervescent spirit of New York, from one of the greatest writers of modern American prose</b></p><p>Sherman McCoy is a WASP, bond trader and self-appointed 'Master of the Universe'. He has a fashionable wife, a Park Avenue apartment and a Southern mistress. His spectacular fall begins the moment he is involved in a hit-and-run accident in the Bronx. Prosecutors, newspaper hacks, politicians and clergy close in on him, determined to bring him down.</p><p>Exuberant, scandalous and exceptionally discerning, <i>The Bonfire of the Vanities </i>was Tom Wolfe's first venture into fiction and cemented his reputation as the foremost chronicler of his age.</p><p><b>'The air of New York crackles with an energy that causes the </b><b>adrenalin</b><b> to pump... The feeling is perfectly reproduced in Wolfe's novel... Electric' - <i>Sunday Times</i></b></p><p><b>'The quintessential novel of The Eighties' - <i>The Guardian</i></b></p>
