Saturday Night and Sunday Morning

A rousing, uproarious novel about the life, loves, and misadventures of a working-class rogue, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning marked the arrival of one of the most cherished authors of the twentieth century. At twenty-two, Arthur Seaton is a hard-drinking bicycle factory lathe operator. Sharp, rowdy, and attractive, he is a lover of life in the raw, and his enormous vitality comes pouring through at a family party, at the county fair, and in several pubs he haunts on Saturday nights, where more often than not he leaves with a woman on his arm.
Before long, however, his devil-may-care existence gets him into some serious trouble, and Arthur's life takes a turn that not even he could have imagined.
