Book excerpt: Winner of the James Tait Black Prize: Two brothers find themselves at odds amid Britain’s quest for an atomic weapon, in this vivid historical novel. As the Second World War begins to rage, Britain’s brightest minds put their efforts into the development of atomic munitions, laboring away in a closely guarded research station in a Warwickshire village. Lewis Eliot, in a stint as a civil servant, gets his brother, Martin, a position there. But as tensions and debate swirl among the scientific community, the opportunity may turn into a full-blown crisis, in this gripping novel by a Booker Prize finalist whose wide-ranging career spanned the worlds of both science and government in mid-twentieth century Britain. “A master craftsman in fiction.” —The New York Times “Together, the [Strangers and Brothers] sequence presents a vivid portrait of British academic, political and public life.” —Jeffrey Archer, The Guardian

Download or read book The Masters written by C.P. Snow and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the James Tait Black Prize: An “engrossing” novel of power, politics, and academic rivalry in 1930s England (The New York Times). In 1937, the dark cloud of Nazi Germany hangs over Europe. Meanwhile, barrister Lewis Eliot is comfortably settled at Cambridge College, which is currently astir thanks to the imminent death of an ailing master. Little does the dying master know that two men are already jockeying for his position. Eliot and his crowd are in Jago’s corner against his rival, Crawford, who holds a principled stand against Hitler but is lacking in social skills. The political maneuvering grows ever fiercer, and even in these hallowed halls of learning, the hunger for power can overwhelm all common sense. “A faithful portrayal of English college life.” —Kirkus Reviews “The Masters not only portrays a power structure in microcosm but is tantalizingly told—perhaps the most engrossing academic novel in English.” —The New York Times “Lucid, compelling . . . generous in its fullness.” —New Statesman

Download or read book The Oxford Companion to Twentieth Century Literature in English written by Jenny Stringer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996-09-26 with total page 774 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a unique new reference book to English-language writers and writing throughout the present century, in all major genres and from all around the world - from Joseph Conrad to Will Self, Virginia Woolf to David Mamet, Ezra Pound to Peter Carey, James Joyce to Amy Tan. The survivors of the Victorian age who feature in The Oxford Companion to Twentieth-Century Literature in English - writers such as Thomas Hardy, Olive Schreiner, Rabindranath Tagore, Henry James - could hardly have imagined how richly diverse `Literature in English' would become by the end of the century. Fiction, plays, poetry, and a whole range of non-fictional writing are celebrated in this informative, readable, and catholic reference book, which includes entries on literary movements, periodicals, and over 400 individual works, as well as articles on some 2,400 authors. All the great literary figures are included, whether American or Australian, British, Irish, or Indian, African or Canadian or Caribbean - among them Samuel Beckett, Edith Wharton, Patrick White, T. S. Eliot, Derek Walcott, D. H. Lawrence, Tennessee Williams, Vladimir Nabokov, Wole Soyinka, Sylvia Plath - as well as a wealth of less obviously canonical writers, from Anaïs Nin to L. M. Montgomery, Bob Dylan to Terry Pratchett. The book comes right up to date with contemporary figures such as Toni Morrison, Ben Okri, Salman Rushdie, Carol Shields, Tim Winton, Nadine Gordimer, Vikram Seth, Don Delillo, and many others. Title entries range from Aaron's Rod to The Zoo Story; topics from Angry Young Men, Bestsellers, and Concrete Poetry to Soap Opera, Vietnam Writing, and Westerns. A lively introduction by John Sutherland highlights the various and sometimes contradictory canons that have emerged over the century, and the increasingly international sources of writing in English which the Companion records. Catering for all literary tastes, this is the most comprehensive single-volume guide to modern (and postmodern) literature.
