Holed up in a cottage in the Chilterns, a young writer strives to write the first great novel of the War, impelled by his own suffering. Outward events and inner crises deflect him from his purpose, and love intervenes in the form of two very different women. A visit to the hallucinatory wreckage of post-war Flanders brings strange repercussions in its wake. Everyone is in some way damaged by the terrible years of the war; in what sense can art be made out of such horror? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdam Thorpe's novel seeks to touch the marrow of this jazz and death-haunted period, which was ironically the most excitingly creative period of the last century. In a language deeply soaked in the time and by means of a beguiling story which gradually haunts its own process, \u003ci\u003eNineteen Twenty-One\u003c\/i\u003e vividly recreates the year in which \u003ci\u003eThe Waste Land\u003c\/i\u003e was written, as well as offering a bright mirror to the inner and outer complexities of our own troubled times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780099272984\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.7 x 5.0 x 1.1 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINTAGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50105315295536,"sku":"Trans_9780099272984","price":563.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/419LXMUPmvL.jpg?v=1756731802","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/nineteen-twenty-one","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
