Story0
Frugal and fearsome, Horace Lamb rules his household with whimsical tirades and oppressive sarcasm. While his wife and five children shiver through the cold months and live in quiet dread, the shrewd Bullivant maintains a sharp servant’s grip on all situations. When Horace transforms overnight to be considerate and caring, chaos ensues–and at the heart of the turmoil are the servants, who watch, scheme and survive as the family’s grievances spill out.

Story0
Dame Ivy Compton-Burnett (1884-1969) was an English novelist who was a bestseller in the mid-20th century. She published eighteen highly acclaimed works of fiction in her lifetime, inspired by her own tragic experiences of family life. Her works consist mainly of dialogue and focus on family life among the late Victorian or Edwardian upper middle class. They deal with money, power, status, incest, adultery, murder, homosexuality – about which she was years ahead of her time – and all the passions and stresses of family life, described with brilliant wit and perception.

Story0
Ein Weihnachtstag im Haus der viktorianischen Familie Edgeworth 1885. Der Patriarch Duncan lässt keinen Zweifel daran, dass er der Herr im Haus ist, gegenüber seiner Familie verhält er sich anmaßend und tyrannisch. Als seine Frau stirbt, wird sie kurzerhand durch eine andere ersetzt, kaum älter als seine Töchter. Von dem Moment an, in dem die erste Teetasse umgestoßen wird, braut sich ein Sturm zusammen. Ivy Compton-Burnett entwirft eine Welt, in der unablässig die Tugend beschworen und bewundert und im selben Moment verhöhnt wird. Stets trägt das Laster den Sieg davon.
