Beskrivelse af A. V. Laider
""A.V. Laider"" is a short story by Max Beerbohm, a celebrated British essayist, caricaturist, and writer. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the life of A.V. Laider, a young man who is determined to become a famous writer. Laider is full of ambition and dreams of literary success, but he has little talent or originality. Despite this, he manages to attract the attention of a wealthy patron who supports his writing and helps him get published.As Laider rises to fame, he becomes increasingly arrogant and self-absorbed, believing that he is a literary genius. However, his success is short-lived, and he quickly falls out of favor with the public and his patron. In the end, Laider is left alone and disillusioned, realizing that his talent was never enough to sustain his dreams.Beerbohm's ""A.V. Laider"" is a biting satire of the literary world and the cult of celebrity. Through Laider's character, Beerbohm exposes the vanity and pretension of those who seek fame and fortune through writing. The story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of ambition and the importance of humility and authenticity in the pursuit of creative expression.A Very Old Envelop: He? Well, that's good! Ha, ha, ha! Why didn't he come last week, when YOU came? What reason have you for supposing he'll ever come now? It isn't as if he were a frequenter of the place. He's never been here. His name is utterly unknown here. You don't suppose he's coming on the chance of finding YOU?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
