Modern Classics Revenge For Love

Modern Classics Revenge For Love by Lewis, Wyndham. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780140033687.

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 Orwells Coming Up for Air or Koestlers Darkness at Noon) which defined a particular mood and to todays 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 Lewiss work.
