«The Takeover» is Muriel Spark's black comedy novel, published by Penguin in paperback (192 pages, in English).
Hubert Mallindaine, who claims descent from the goddess Diana, asserts spiritual rights over a villa in Nemi, Italy. Around him move rich and eccentric expatriates, with personal tensions, financial interests, and echoes of pagan cults in a satirical comedy of mordant tone.
The subtitle on the cover is «A parable of the pagan seventies». The novel was first published in 1976; this Penguin edition is from 1978.
For readers of literary fiction and British social satire, particularly those interested in Muriel Spark's narrative.
