Edward Verrall Lucas

    E.V. Lucas war ein vielseitiger und populärer englischer Schriftsteller, dessen fast 100 Bücher für ihre humorvolle Leichtigkeit und seinen kultivierten Stil bekannt sind. Er ist am besten für seine Essays und Reiseberichte über London und Auslandsreisen bekannt, die viele Auflagen erlebt haben. Seine Werke über den Kricket-Sport gelten immer noch als erstklassiges Lehrmaterial, und seine Biografie über Charles Lamb wird besonders geschätzt. Lucas' polierte Essayistenpersönlichkeit verbarg oft einen zynischen und bitteren Beobachter der Welt, der den Lesern tiefere Einblicke in seine komplexe Persönlichkeit und seine meisterhafte Prosa bot.
