The hero of this novel, Uli Bouwmeester, is, at 78, the last survivor of a famous Dutch theatrical family. The author is regarded as one of Holland's foremost writers, and his previous book, "The Assault", was made into a film which won an Oscar for best foreign film in 1987.
The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
