ISBN: 9781609450847.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Earthly Powers Burgess created his masterpiece. At its center are two twentieth-century men who represent different kinds of power—Kenneth Toomey, a past-his-prime author of mediocre fiction, a man who has outlived his contemporaries to survive into, bitter, luxurious old age, living in self-exile on Malta; and Don Carlo Campanati, a man of God, eventually of church revolution and a candidate for sainthood beloved Pope, who rises through the Vatican as a shrewd manipulator to become the architect.\nThrough the lives of these two modern men Burgess explores the very essence of power in a narrative that spans from Hollywood, to Dublin, Nairobi, Paris, and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Europa Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45255199096885,"sku":"ByrdShop_1609450841","price":42.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781609450847_b40c7f92-fdf5-4e3c-8876-6d5fd250118a.jpg?v=1779924520","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/earthly-powers-9781609450847","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
