A Man of Parts Zusammenfassung

A Man of Parts David Lodge

A MAN OF CONTRADICTIONS.
A MAN OF PASSION.
A MAN OF THE FUTURE.

Sequestered in his blitz-battered Regent's Park house in 1944, the ailing Herbert George Wells, 'H.G.' to his family and friends, looks back on a life crowded with incident, books, and women. Charting his unpromising start as a draper's assistant to his rapid rise to fame as a writer with a prophetic imagination, his immersion in socialist politics and his belief in and practice of free love, A Man of Parts is an astonishing novel of passion, ambition and controversy.

A Man of Parts Bewertungen

This is his best book in years: sprawling, funny, touching, a near-perfect fusion of story and scholarship * Mail on Sunday *
Excellent... scrupulous and scholarly... It bounds along terrifically * Guardian *
Lodge's robust approach, his insights, energy and humour, enable him to present HG as a man not only for his own times but also for ours -- Patricia Craig * Irish Times *
Absorbing and thoroughly enjoyable -- Allan Massie * Scotsman *
David Lodge's novel goes straight to the heart of the story... It is pure fun -- Claire Harman * Evening Standard *
