Résumé
Flight from a Lady is probably Macdonell's most enigmatic work. It is fictional, but hardly reads like a novel. The plot is the story of a very wealthy young man escaping from the clutches of a woman - a woman so determined that the man goes to great lengths to cover his tracks and avoid being trapped by her, the she-wolf.

Flight from a Lady by A G Macdonell
This vintage book contains A. G. Macdonell's 1939 novel, Flight from a Lady. One of Macdonell's most intriguing works, it tells the story of a very wealthy young man trying escape escaping the clutches of a woman by travelling to France, then Italy, Greece, the Middle East and finally India, set to the backdrop of the looming war. This volume is highly recommended for fans and collectors of Macdonnel's seminal work, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection. A. G. Macdonell (1895-1941) was a Scottish novelist and journalist. His most famous works include: The Autobiography of a Cad, arguably amongst the funniest books ever written; Lords and Masters, a blunt and prescient satire, and England, Their England(1933), a classic satirical novel that affectionately explores English urban and rural society. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with its original artwork and text.
A. G. Macdonell, (1895-1941) was a journalist and satirical novelist. Without doubt his best-known work was England Their England, but the success of this overshadows his other books, many of which were classics in their own way. The Autobiography of a Cad must surely rank as one of the funniest books ever written and Lords and Masters is a cutting and hard-hitting satire with frightening prescience, foreseeing the Second World War as inevitable. His American trip in 1934 is amusingly related in A Visit to America, but his other non-fiction is also powerful and beautifully written, with his highly-regarded Napoleon and his Marshals providing one of the best accounts of the Napoleonic Wars in one single volume.
