Store Stamped. --- --- DANIEL MARTIN --- Fowles relates the story of Daniel Martin, an English screenwriter living in Hollywood who is summoned back to England for the funeral of Anthony, an old college friend. Anthony's widow Jane is the sister of Daniel's ex-wife, and after the funeral the two reestablish their old friendship and take a vacation through Egypt together. In Egypt Jane reveals to Daniel that she had originally intended to marry him. --- THE BOOK OF DANIEL --- As Cold War hysteria inflames America, FBI agents knock on the Bronx apartment door of a Communist man and his wife. After a highly controversial trial, the couple go to the electric chair for treason despite worldwide protests. Decades later their son, Daniel, grown to young manhood, tries to make sense of their lives and deaths - and their legacy to him. Like millions of other Americans, he is attempting to reconcile an America based on the highest human ideals with the tragedy of his parents. This is the framework for E.L. Doctorow's dazzling masterpiece, as he fictionalizes an actual social and political drama to create an intensely moving, searching, and illuminating tale of two decades, two generations, and a troubled legacy of passion and purpose, martyrdom and meaning. . .See photos for additional content. . .
