·内容简介——

· 八十年代英国上流社会的荒诞记述

· 捕捉上流社会喧闹、脆弱的一面

· 英国人的古怪在不断变化的世界中做出了最后的抵抗

“我想知道我拍摄的派对嘉宾是否只是在重演一个怀旧的幻想，一个已经不存在的想象版本的英格兰。” ——达菲德·琼斯

整个 20 世纪 80 年代，屡获殊荣的摄影师 Dafydd Jones 获准参加一些英格兰特有的上流社会活动。现在，《牛津：最后的欢呼》一书的作者呈现了这张关于生日聚会、慈善舞会、伊顿公学野餐和私立学校庆祝活动的不敬而亲密的肖像。

随着枪响和香槟的喷洒，这些照片几乎以电影的方式描述了英格兰上流社会骚乱和脆弱的时期。在撒切尔夫人的英国、全球化、福克兰群岛战争、股市上涨和继承财富减少的背景下，Jones揭示了当权精英在他们衰落的世界的夜晚狂欢时的内心生活。

“精美的复古照片......”——赫敏·艾尔，《电讯报》

“在《最后的欢呼》中……我们看到英国上流社会的熟悉面孔正处于成年边缘。”——伊芙·沃特林，独立人士

· A fly-on-the-wall account of eighties upper-class England

· Captures high society at its most riotous, and its most vulnerable

· English eccentricity makes a final stand in a changing world

“I wondered if the party guests I'd photographed were just re-enacting a nostalgic fantasy, an imaginary version?of England?that already no longer existed.” – Dafydd Jones

Throughout the 1980s, award-winning photographer Dafydd Jones was granted access to some of England's most exclusive upper-class events. Now, the author of Oxford: The Last Hurrah presents this irreverent and intimate portrait of birthday parties and charity balls, Eton picnics and private school celebrations.

With the crack of a hunting rifle and a spray of champagne, these photos give an almost cinematic account of high-society England at its most riotous and its most vulnerable. Against the backdrop of Thatcher's Britain, globalization, the Falklands War, rising stocks and dwindling inherited fortunes, Jones reveals the inner lives of the established elite as they party long into the night-time of their fading world.
