Traveling German nobleman Baron Rudolf von Blitzenberg finds himself at loose ends. Despite impeccable letters of introduction, he sits at the luxurious Hotel Mayonnaise in England without a guide to this strange land's customs. Enter Francis Beveridge. At least, Beveridge is the name that was sewn into all his clothes. And so the wild ride begins, as the astonishing Beveridge brings rail stations to a standstill, knows how to fake a rabies attack, and crashes London's most exclusive clubs. And in hot pursuit are the clueless attendants charged with watching over Beveridge before he escaped the confines of Clankwood, asylum to the best-bred lunatics in the land. This anarchic novel is a Victorian comic masterpiece, much admired by P. G. Wodehouse, and which presaged his own work.

About the Book Drama texts refer to the mode of fiction represented in the performance of a play in a theater, on radio or on television. Drama is viewed as a genre of poetry, with the dramatic mode being contrasted with the epic and the lyrical modes ever since Aristotle's Poetics (335 BC). The term "drama" itself derives from the Greek word meaning "action”. In the English language the word "play" or "game" was a standard term used to describe drama until William Shakespeare's time. The enactment of drama in a theater, performed by actors on a stage before an audience is often combined with music and dance. In opera, the drama is generally sung throughout, whilst in musicals it includes both spoken dialogue and songs.Also in this Book The family saga chronicles the lives of a family, or several related or interconnected families, over an extended period of time. This may be in a novel or a sequences of novels with a serious theme, and is set against the background of historical events, changes of social circumstances, or the rise and fall of fortunes. The typical family saga follows a family through several generations in a series of novels. And in this Book In historical fiction the plot is set in the past, and pays attention to the manners, social conditions and other details of the period portrayed. Some authors choose to include famous historical figures in their fictional plots, so that audiences can imagine how those individuals might have responded to the plots and environments established by the author. The Western literary component of this genre is founded in the early 19th century works of such authors as Sir Walter Scott, Honoré de Balzac, James Fenimore Cooper, and Leo Tolstoy.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.
