Descriptions du produit

From Library Journal

This farcical 1975 novel pits the good-hearted Lady Maude against the diabolical Sir Giles, who plans to ruin the local countryside by constructing a highway that will serve little purpose other than lining his pockets. The fight against bureaucracy makes for deft comedy.

From AudioFile

Blott on the Landscape is a satiric farce in which the feuding between an aristocratic couple spills disastrously into the public arena. The humor is in the Monty Python tradition-- slapstick, vulgar and sometimes cruel. This piece of fluff gets better than it deserves from David Suchet, whose lively and colorful performance is likely to hold many listeners who would lose interest in the printed page. In the American tradition, he provides a package which outshines its contents. Production values and packaging are first class. J.N.

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of the few authors that REALLY make me laugh, Juil 25 2001

This review is from: Blott On The Landscape (Paperback)
Tom Sharpe, Christopher Brookmyre, P.J. O'Rourke, Stephen Fry, P.G.Wodehouse - they all fall into the category of authors who REALLY make me laugh. If you mix up Billy Connelly and John Cleese, you'll get the idea. In Blott on the Landscape (which was turned into a BBC television series), Sharpe's humour is as sharp as ever (pun intended) and his characterizations are an absolute scream. Of course, it helps if you appreciate British humour which, at times, can be quite black. (A woman getting a lion to eat her own husband?)

Tom Sharpe's 'Wilt' books were comical enough but, in Blott on the Landscape and Porterhouse Blue, he excels even his own high standards of comic writing.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Great title, great book, Oct. 9 2000
Par "absentwithoutleave" (melbourne, vic Australia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Blott On The Landscape (Paperback)
This is the first Tom Sharpe I read, and it just seems so much better that the others...I first saw the t.v. series, and was even more impressed by the book. I loved eveything about it, the plot, the exagerrated characters, the way everything fits together at the end. I was a bit disturbed that I could laugh so much about a woman deliberately letting a lion eat her (thoroughly horrible and worthless) husband, but this is the mad world that Tom Sharpe takes you to. Ther way the betrayed wife should become best friend and ally with her husbands mistress is just hysterical! My other favourite character was the poor,bureacratically challenged head of the motorway planning authourity who had none! A great book to escape into.

5.0étoiles sur 5 One guess why David Suchet on this audiotape?, Sep 27 2000
Par bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
That's right aside from his excellent performance on the audiotape, He did the television series. This tape is easy enough to follow that you can use it in the car. And following the book you get a different perspective than the TV series. I know Tom Sharpe is similar to other British comedies, however I really see people like he describes. The people are similar in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" ISBN: 0345391802.

You can still get the movie by selecting "United Kingdom" at the bottom of this screen and placing "Blot on the Landscape" in the (Search our shops box.) Blott On The Landscape (1985) ASIN: B00004CM6K Catalogue Number: BBCV4775 Amazon.co.uk Sales Rank (VHS): 2,804
