Description
A dark and haunting tale of obsession and destruction, The Servant is a masterful portrait of the human psyche. When Tony, a young lawyer recently returned from war, hires Barrett as his servant, he unwittingly unleashes a sinister force that will lead to his downfall. As Barrett insidiously manipulates Tony's life, the roles of master and servant become grotesquely reversed, resulting in a terrifying inevitability that is both shocking and brilliant. This modern classic, first published in 1948, has been hailed for its skillful observation and craftsmanship, making it a gripping read to this day. This new edition includes a preface by the author and a new introduction, offering readers a deeper understanding of the novel's origins and themes.
