Το τέλος του κόσμου σε αγγλικό κήπο

This is the story of Lucius Prescott, a tailor and soldier in the English Civil War, who died twice. Its author is Benedict Silcox, and it is his own story too, the chronicle of his youth: how he burned the candle at both ends, fell ill and grew bitter. An ordinary man, neither good nor bad, with a weakness for claret and games of chance, he writes the book to pay off his debts and to atone for his mistakes, with only a few months of life left, needing money for laudanum and hoping his publisher, Mr A. H. Sidney, at least covers his costs.
