Any Human Heart is William's Boyd's classic, bestselling novel, now available as a Penguin Essential for the first time.
Every life is both ordinary and extraordinary, but Logan Mountstuart's - lived from the beginning to the end of the twentieth century - contains more than its fair share of both. As a writer who finds inspiration with Hemingway in Paris and Virginia Woolf in London, as a spy recruited by Ian Fleming and betrayed in the war and as an art-dealer in '60s New York, Logan mixes with the movers and shakers of his times. But as a son, friend, lover and husband, he makes the same mistakes we all do in our search for happiness. Here, then, is the story of a life lived to the full - and a journey deep into a very human heart.
Any Human Heart will be enjoyed by readers of Sebastian Faulks, Nick Hornby and Hilary Mantel, as well as lovers of the finest British and historical fiction around the world. It was recently adapted for a major Channel 4 four-part drama series scripted by William Boyd and starring Kim Cattrall, Gillian Anderson, Jim Broadbent and Tom Hollander. This edition features beautiful cover artwork from the television series.

“对我来说最重要的5本书。” 《契诃夫短篇小说集》，安东·契诃夫 The Collected Stories of Anton Chekhov 世界上最伟大的短篇小说家。书中的故事，距现在已有超过100年历史，但读起来就像是2007年写的：冷峻、荒谬，坚持描写世俗，以最诚实、最清晰的目光凝视我们生活中奇异...

日记形式的小说非常好读。读者好像是藏在作者肚子里隐形却知晓一切的小蛔虫。经历过近一个世纪的起起伏伏，生活在阴雨的伦敦，流动的巴黎，先锋的纽约。年轻时事事如愿，而人生过半之后却在谷底中挣扎。暮年之时回忆此生，尽管孤身一人艰难的生活，仍因拥有那十年与妻女的时光感到幸运。
