The Revenge for Love

Published in the shadow of the Spanish Civil War, The Revenge for Love is a political thriller attacking the fraudulence and feeble-mindedness of life in the Britain of the 1930s. A brilliant satire on a world that has lost its sense of self and been seduced by the appeal of Communism, it is one of a handful of books (it could be compared to Orwell's Coming Up for Air or Koestler's Darkness at Noon) which defined a particular mood and to today's audience gives an unparalleled sense of how Europe turned toxic on the eve of the Second World War. A major statement by a great artist and writer The Revenge for Love now deserves a new generation of readers and is the perfect introduction to Lewis's work.Author: Lewis, Wyndham,author,Edwards, Paul,introduction Contributors: Lewis, Wyndham,author,Edwards, Paul,introduction Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 400 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Format: international_edition Published/Release Date: 4 Mar 2004 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Penguin Books Ltd Author/Director/Artist: Wyndham Lewis Dimension (cm): 198x129x1 mm Package Dimension (cm): 45x197x130 mm Item Weight (g): 1050 Package Weight (g): 297
