Description

The Realists : Portraits of Eight Novelists by C. P. Snow. 'In the great realistic novels, there is a presiding, unconcealed, interpreting intelligence. They are all of them concerned with the actual social setting in which their personage exist. The concrete world, the world of the physical fact, the shapes of society, are essential to the art. . . ' In The Realists C. P. Snow, who has made his own considerable contribution to twentieth-century fiction, turns his attention to eight of the greatest 'realistic' writers - Stendhal, Balzc, Dickens, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Galdos, Henry James and Proust. In their works, he believes, 'the lessons about individual human beings are some of the deepest, most complete, ever written, saying things of startling originality.' The dust jacket has light to medium general with tape ghosting from a removed library cover but the book remains tight and bright. Ex Library Book with all the usual stamps and markings.
