    • Résumé :
      Herself Surprised is the story of Sara Monday, a former housemaid who tells of her grand days and of all her coming down days since. Looking back from a prison cell on a life that covers the first half of the twentieth century, Sara introduces a gallery of vivid characters: her timid and doting husband, Mr. Monday; Rozzie, her hard-boiled friend; her various lovers including the brilliant but dangerously violent painter Gully Jimson and the miserly lawyer Tom Wilcher. In Sara, an irrepressible, sexually magnetic woman, at once manipulated and generous to a fault, Cary has created a complex and wonderfully realised character - one of the most memorable in twentieth-century fiction. Praise for Herself Surprised: 'There seems to be more truth of human nature, a profounder understanding of the springs of action than in any novel I have read for a long time' - L P Hartley 'The life story of one of the most engaging and subtly realised heroines of recent fiction' - Atlantic Monthly 'A remarkable novel... beautifully done' - Country Life 'Acute, balanced, and at times brilliantly pure narrative, with a delicacy of insight that adorns everything he touches ... A very live and true story' - Times Literary Supplement Joyce Cary was born in 1888 into an old Anglo-Irish family and educated at Clifton. He studied art, first in Edinburgh and then in Paris, before going up to Trinity College, Oxford in 1909 to read law. On coming down he served as a Red Cross orderly in the Balkan War of 1912-13, the inspiration for Memoir of the Bobotes, before joining the Nigerian Political Service. He served in the Nigeria Regiment during the First World War, and his time in Africa provided the inspiration for his first four novels. Though he settled in Oxford as a full-time writer in 1920, it was not until 1932 that his first book was published. At the time of his death in 1957, he was recognised as one of the leading novelists in the world.

      Biographie:
      Joyce Cary was born in 1888 into an old Anglo-Irish family and educated at Clifton. He studied art, first in Edinburgh and then in Paris, before going up to Trinity College, Oxford, in 1909 to read law. On coming down he served as a Red Cross orderly in the Balkan War of 1912-13,the inspiration for Memoir of the Bobotes, before joining the Nigerian Political Service. Cary is probably best known as a novelist and especially for Mister Johnson and 'The First Tryptych' (Herself Surprised, To Be A Pilgrim and The Horse's Mouth) in which the three main protagonists narrate their interlocking experiences and reveal their contrasting personalities. However he was also a fine short story writer, essayist and poet.
