This memoir of the what was called by those few who remembered, 'The First Balkan War', 1912-13. According to Walter Allen, from the vantage of 1960, 'For most of us, later, larger and more devastating wars, in one of which Cary was to' also 'fight and be wounded, have practically obliterated any knowledge we may once have had of the First Balkan War -- or, for that matter, of the Secon, which followed it within a few months.' This account by the novelist, Joyce Cary goes a short way (169 pages) toward reminding some of us about this war, which has since been followed by at least one other bloody conflict, the 1990s Balkan Wars, some would call it. Memories continue to confuse all this madness amongst so much horror the 20th century (and so the 21st) willingly dispenses.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book imaginatively retells the story of Trilby O'Ferrall, a beautiful artist's model, from George du Maurier's 1894 novel, Trilby. Set in 1850s Paris, the story follows Trilby as she navigates relationships with three artists and Svengali, a manipulative musician and hypnotist. The author skillfully captures the bohemian lifestyle of mid-19th-century Paris, exploring themes of love, art, deception, and the power of music. Through Trilby's experiences, the book delves into the complexities of female identity and agency within a male-dominated society. Ultimately, this retelling offers a fresh perspective on the classic tale, examining the enduring themes of art, love, and the pursuit of one's dreams.

He served in the Nigeria Regiment during the First World War, was wounded while fighting in the Cameroons, and returned to civil duty in Nigeria in 1917 as a district officer. His time in Africa provided the inspiration for his first four novels. Though he settled in Oxford as a full time writer in 1920, it was not until 1932 that his first book was published. At the time of his death in 1957, he was recognised as one of the leading novelists in the world.
