Articoli correlati a God's Fifth Column: A Biography of the Age 1890-1940
God's Fifth Column is the last book of William Gerhardie. Well known in the 1920s and 1930s chiefly as a novelist (whose books were admired by Arnold Bennett, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh and others), Gerhardie fell mysteriously silent at the beginning of the Second World War and did not publish another book during the remaining thirty-seven years of his life. After his death the manuscript of this ambitious and unusual book was discovered among his papers and was skilfully edited for publication by Michael Holroyd and Robert Skidedlsky. The novel itself is a biography of the age, 1890-1940, through which Gerhardie lived. For Gerhardie, it was the artists rather than orthodox historians, the men of imagination rather than of will, who were the true spokesmen for mankind; and it is through the artist's vision and the writer's use of language that he tries to bring the age into moral perspective. God's Fifth Column is one of the most remarkable works of this gifted writer.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Very Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of wear to the extremities; the mildest rubbing to the panels. The binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of creases to the covers. Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A handsome copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing only the very mildest wear. Bright and Clean. Virtually 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8 x 5.45 x 1 inches. 360 pages. Language: English. Weight: 14 ounces. Reprint Edition (1991); First Printing Thus. First published in 1981. Trade Paperback. The biography of an age is the expansive cover description and so it is. Lenin, Wilde, Tolstoy, the Kaiser, Chekov. Certainly the best work of nonfiction (witty, blackly humorous) in the 20th century, a laurel he shares with Robert Caro's Path to Power. Few I know have read this devastating beauty and I like that--the notion of a cult following for Gerhardie! Gerhardie, by the way, was one of the most critically acclaimed English novelists of the 1920s (Evelyn Waugh told him, "I have talent, but you have genius."). H.G. Wells championed his work. Reprint Edition (1991); First Printing Thus. First published in 1981. Codice articolo 50922
