Kurzbeschreibung
Penguin Decades bring you the novels that helped shape modern Britain. When they were published, some were bestsellers, some were considered scandalous, and others were simply misunderstood. All represent their time and helped define their generation, while today each is considered a landmark work of storytelling. Kingsley Amis's Lucky Jim was published in 1954, and is a hilarious satire of British university life. Jim Dixon is bored by his job as a medieval history lecturer. His days are only improved by pulling faces behind the backs of his superiors as he tries desperately to survive provincial bourgeois society, an unbearable 'girlfriend' and petty humiliation at the hands of Professor Welch. Lucky Jim is one of the most famous and influential of all British post-War novels.
Über den Autor
Kingsley Amis's (1922-95) works take a humorous yet highly critical look at British society, especially in the period following the end of World War II. Born in London, Amis explored his disillusionment in novels such as That Uncertain Feeling (1955). His other works include The Green Man (1970), Stanley and the Women (1984), and The Old Devils (1986), which won the Booker Prize. Amis also wrote poetry, criticism, and short stories.

If you like David Lodge and his campus novels then you ought to read this, a prototype in many ways, but also reminiscent of film comedies of the period, very English, old-fashioned, staid, intelligent, subtly humorous. Jim Dixon, the protagonist, is a young lecturer in the history department of a red brick university looking for tenure, even though he hasn't the slightest interest in the area of his expertise, the Middle Ages. Trapped in a relationship with Margaret, a clinging collegue, pining for the beautiful Christine, and choking with frustration and anger against his department head, Professor Welch, Jim makes himself a nuisance with everybody, stumbling from one disaster to the next in his attempt to gain a foothold at the university while trying to make love to two women at the same time. This is rendered in light-hearted as well as light-footed prose, masterfully plotted, with a wealth of comic twists and satiric references, a novel about the sweet bird of youth, and still a comedy of the heart.

Dear old Jim

Hilarious. An almost meaningless word redeemed... every character still so easy to imagine . After all these years K Amis's gem remains a writer's benchmark for humour with style.
