Àííîòàöèÿ: In the short stories which make up THE GRIM SMILE OF THE FIVE TOWNS Arnold Bennett caught some of the manner of Maupassant, one of the French writers on whom he modelled his writing.The redolent tale of the coffin and the cheese, 'In a New Bottle', and 'The Silent Brothers' (who have not addressed one another for ten years) possess the true ring. The pride, pretensions and provincial snobbery of the Potteries are handled by Arnold Bennet with amused tolerance. Most of his stories, like the four linked adventures of Vera Cheswardine, set the home life of middle-class manufactures of earthenware and porcelain against a 'singular scenery of coal dust, potsherds, flame and steam'. But Bennett never ignores the less successful members of families in a region where 'clogs to clogs is only three generations'.

Àííîòàöèÿ: In this, the first volume of an ambitious trilogy intending to trace the parallel lives of a man and woman from youth to marriage and from marriage to old age, Bennett introduces the character of Edwin Clayanger. A sober portrait of a boy growing up under a tyrannical father contrasts with young Edwin's glimpses of the mysterious and tantalizing Hilda Lessways. As the lives of these two characters unfold before us, Bennett uses autobiographical detail to beautifully depict the constraints and spiritual adventures of young life in the Potteries.

Àííîòàöèÿ: It is 1919 and the tubercular Kafka adjures his best friend Max Brod to burn all his writings after his death. Max, of course, doesn't, goes on to publish all Kafka's work, write the definitive biography and thereby instigate a whole lit-crit industry. We are now transported to the 1980s.In a middle-class, suburdan sitting-room sits Sidney,a Kafka-besotted insuarance agent who ''would rather read about writers than what they write'', for this is England where ''Gossip is the acceptable face of intellect''. Sidney is working on his Kafka article for SMALL PRINT, the Journal of Insuarance Studies,while his frustrated wife Linda stares morosely out of the french windows, and his elderly father scans the bookshelves in an effort to convince family and social workers he isn't gaga. Into their midst descends the dead but lively Max, closely followed by a cadaverous Kafka and Kafka's larger-than-life parents. It seems everyone wants to get in on the acr...

A disastrous bigamous marriage and pregnancy result. Finally, however, she is reconciled with Edwin Clayhanger and one of Bennett—s most lively heroines must face up to her conflicting emotions, and the reality of her hopes and tragedies.
