The Turmoil

The Turmoil by Booth Tarkington

The Turmoil by Booth Tarkington

The Turmoil is the first novel in the ‘Growth’ trilogy, which also includes The Magnificent Ambersons, and The Midlander

The trilogy traces the growth of the United States through the declining fortunes of three generations of the aristocratic Amberson family in a fictional Mid-Western town, between the end of the Civil War and the early part of the 20th century, a period of rapid industrialization and socio-economic change in America. The decline of the Ambersons is contrasted with the rising fortunes of industrial tycoons and other new-money families, which did not derive power from family names but by “doing things”. As George Amberson’s friend says, “don’t you think being things is ‘rahthuh bettuh’ than doing things?”

The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights

The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights by Sir Thomas Malory

The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights by Sir Thomas Malory

In acceding to their request I wish to say that the book as now published is merely a word-for-word reprint of my early effort to help to popularise the Arthur legends.

It is little else than an abridgment of Sir Thomas Malory’s version of them as printed by Caxton—with a few additions from Geoffrey of Monmouth and other sources—and an endeavour to arrange the many tales into a more or less consecutive story.

The Economic Consequences of the Peace

The Economic Consequences of the Peace by John Maynard Keynes

The Economic Consequences of the Peace by John Maynard Keynes

The Economic Consequences of the Peace was a best seller throughout the world, published by John Maynard Keynes. Keynes attended the Versailles Conference as a delegate of the British Treasury and argued for a much more generous peace with Germany. The book was critical in establishing a general worldwide opinion that the Versailles Treaty was a brutal and unfair peace towards Germany. It helped to consolidate American public opinion against the treaty and involvement in the League of Nations. The perception by much of the British public that Germany had been treated unfairly in turn was a crucial factor in public support for appeasement. The success of the book established Keynes’ reputation as a leading economist especially on the left.

The Glories of Ireland

The Glories of Ireland by Joseph Dunn and P. J. Lennox

The Glories of Ireland by Joseph Dunn and P. J. Lennox

A collection of essays on Ireland compiled by Joseph Dunn and PJ Lennox. As stated in the Preface to the books “…we have been forced to the conclusion that the performances of the Irish race in many fields of endeavor are entirely unknown to most people, and that even to the elect they are not nearly so well known as they deserve to be. Hence there came to us the thought of placing on record, in an accessible, comprehensive, and permanent form, an outline of the whole range of Irish achievement during the last two thousand years.”
