With wit and erudition, Hollis presents his personal journey from Edwardian England through the turbulent decades of the twentieth century, weaving his own experiences into a broader tapestry of political, intellectual, and religious life in Britain. The narrative illustrates the shifting currents of English society, touching on his time at Eton, his conversion to Catholicism, his political career, and his prolific career as an author and commentator. Written with the dry, self-deprecating humor characteristic of the English gentleman-scholar tradition, it offers an intimate yet historically rich portrait of a century defined by upheaval and transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792246321371,"sku":"2026200004703-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/30cbb21b-3612-43b4-8f22-6aaf7b1704c9.png?v=1779273978","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200004703-secondhand-the-seven-ages-their-exits-and-their-entrances","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
