Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This novel embraces the period from the Wall Street Crash of 1929 to the Nazi Blood Purge of 1934. Wm. Schuman, Professor of Political Science at Williams College said "There is nothing I have read, in prose or verse, fiction of fact, which has impressed me so vividly with the realities of National Socialism. Sinclair's pictures of the Nazi leaders are superb, and he has almost achieved the impossible in catching the spirit and atmosphere of the movement." As the noose of history pulls tighter, the men and women of Sinclair's imagining grow in maturity and power, and the readers of his story - wherever they may choose to pick up the thread - gain a new perspective on the world through whichg they lived and are living. A 1943 PULITZER PRIZE NOVEL! A Collector's Edition. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Idealism Run Amok, March 29, 2004
By Jerry Kelley (Riverside, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This 1943 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Upton Sinclair captures the spirit and drama of events in Europe leading up to World War II. The story begins with a complex portrait of life and philosophy among the leisure class between the great wars of the first half of the Twentieth century. Lanny Budd is the playboy son of a munitions manufacturer married to a wealthy American heiress. His Socialist political beliefs reflect those of the Sinclair himself who incidently ran as the Socialist Party candidate for governor in California in 1934. Lanny Budd's connections eventually put him in touch directly with the highest leadership of the Nazi movement as that ideology overtakes the political arena in the mid 1930s in Germany.
This is a good story for those of us in the Twenty-first century as it shows what happens when political idealism runs unchecked.
