Описание: 'Unlike any other person I had come across, Welch seemed to be speaking particularly to me' Alan Bennett'Vivid ... surprising ... an exquisite balance of pain and beauty' GuardianOrvil Pym does not fit in.

A waifish, eccentric, sensitive fifteen-year-old, he hates school and longs to be alone. Spending his Summer holidays in a genteel Surrey hotel with his mysterious father and two brothers who don't understand him, he explores ancient churches, spies on a man rowing in the river and collects antiques, escaping into his own singular aesthetic world. First published in 1945, this is an unforgettable portrayal of a young man's sensuous coming-of-age.

'A heightened, sensual journey ... it is Orvil's vibrant energy that allows this book to bubble ... beautifully odd ...

Описание: `Maybe there is no better novel in the world than Denton Welch`s In Youth Is Pleasure. Just holding it in my hands, so precious, so beyond gay, so deliciously subversive, is enough to make illiteracy a worse crime than hunger` - JOHN WATERS

Описание: Part of the "Denton Welch" series, this novella recounts a walking tour undertaken by Welch in southern England, while he was a student. It describes his adventures along the way with a sense of nostalgia not only for the pre-war world, but also for the enjoyment of existence in the years before Welch was disabled by a life-threatening accident.
