{"product_id":"9781458702852","title":"Seven Men","description":"In \u003ci\u003eSeven Men\u003c\/i\u003e the brilliant English caricaturist and critic Max Beerbohm  turned his comic searchlight upon the fantastic fin-de-siecle world of the  1890s--the age of Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley, and the young Yeats, as  well of Beerbohm's own first success. In a series of luminous sketches,  Beerbohm captures the likes of Enoch Soames, only begetter of the neglected  poetic masterwork Fungoids, Maltby and Braxton, two fashionable novelists  caught in a bitter rivalry, and Savonarola Brown, author a truly  incredible tragedy encompassing the entire Italian Renaissance. One of the  masterpieces of modern humorous writing, Seven Men is also a shrewdly  perceptive but also heartfelt homage to the wonderfully eccentric character  of a bygone age.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSir Henry Maximilian Beerbohm (1872-1956) was born in London and studied at  Oxford.
