Edward Verrall Lucas

    E.V. Lucas était un écrivain anglais polyvalent et populaire, dont près de 100 livres sont reconnus pour leur légèreté humoristique et leur style raffiné. Il est surtout connu pour ses essais et ses récits de voyage sur Londres et ses périples à l'étranger, qui ont connu de nombreuses éditions. Ses ouvrages sur le cricket sont encore considérés comme un matériel pédagogique de premier ordre, et sa biographie de Charles Lamb est particulièrement appréciée. La personnalité polie de saggiste de Lucas cachait souvent un observateur cynique et amer du monde, offrant aux lecteurs un aperçu plus profond de sa personnalité complexe et de sa prose magistrale.
