Beasts and Super-Beasts
あらすじ
Beasts and Super-Beasts is a collection of short stories by Saki, first published in 1914. The volume presents the author’s characteristic cynicism and wry humor through tales that largely center on animals, including “The Open Window,” one of Saki’s most frequently anthologized pieces. Several stories include the recurring character Clovis Sangrail. As a late collection released shortly before Saki’s death during World War I, it is marked by plain, direct language paired with sardonic wit. The book also engages in social commentary, using its crisp storytelling and humorous tone to sharpen its observations.
