An
important collection of short fiction
by the author of
tInder the Volcano
Malcolm
Lowry
Hear us 0 Lord from
heaven thy dwelling place
Both critics and general readers hailed
Malcolm Lowry's novel
Under the Volcano
as
one of the literary landmarks of the postwar years.
They will share the conviction that the posthumous
publication of this volume of short fiction is a literary
necessity. These three short novels and four tales,
the work of a decade, state and restate with almost
musical precision and virtuosity themes with which
Lowry was concerned throughout his creative life.
They are a testament to the genius of one of
the remarkable writers of our time.
A brilliant critical study of a major trend
in
contemporary literature

Studies in the French Novel, 1880-1955
~ll
Viewing the intellectual as the key figure in
the modem French novel, and the ailing prophet of an
entire epoch, Victor Brombert describes him as
"the hero and the victim of a tortured era which has
experienced politics as tragedy, freedom as necessity."
Using representative protagonists of such writers
as Emile Zola, Andre Malraux, Jean-Paul Sartre,
Albert Camus and Simone de Beauvoir, he traces
the gradual evolution of the intellectual from a
minor character into a protagonist of stature, and
shows what themes the novelists developed
through his presence.
