Kingsley Amis (1922 - 1995) is a classic of 20th-century English literature, winner of the Booker Prize and the Somerset Maugham Award, a knight of the British Empire, and a continuer of the traditions of British intellectual satire. His witty, sarcastic books have become iconic for generations of readers. And the best work of Amis's late, most vibrant period is rightfully considered his "Booker"-winning novel, The Old Devils. Creative people. Artistic people. Or simply - elderly married couples who settled in a small Welsh town. Once they had it all - successes and failures, love affairs and stormy passions... And now? They are left either to seek solace at the bottom of a bottle, or to relive the small internecine wars of the distant past over and over again and try - as a joke, not seriously - to continue them in the present. Who loved whom - or didn't? Betrayed - or didn't betray? Cheated - or remained faithful? Day after day. Year after year. And the tension builds - and one day it will break out in a completely serious confrontation...
