Further Adventures of Lanny Budd,
By Calliope (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wide Is the Gate 1 (World's End Series 7) (Paperback)
Upton Sinclair's World's End Series is a great work that is sadly almost out of print. They seem to be available as paperbacks, with each volume split in two. Because of the high price, I would recommend trying to find this series at the library. The first volume is "World's End". By reading this series, you will learn so much about 20th century history and politics. The story of Lanny as a character is interesting, but the main drama is the worldwide political scene around the World Wars--luckily, Lanny has a knack for being in the right place at the right time to watch history unfold.
In "Wide is the Gate" Lanny returns to Germany to aid the resistance movement against the Nazis, while acting as an art dealer and pretending to be sympathetic to the Nazi leaders. He has some exciting adventures rescuing a resistance worker from Germany, and later, a young friend from Spain. He also faces the desintegration of his marriage with the millionare Irma Barnes.
