'Mr. Powys is to be congratulated on having written a book of the kind that most needs writing and most deserves to be read...Here in a dozen chapters of eloquent and glowing prose, Mr. Powys describes for every reader that citadel which is himself, and explains to him how it maybe strengthened and upheld and on what terms it is most worth upholding.. The virtue of his book is that it is freshly and clearly focussed to meet the present situation to encourage and establish developing experience in growing minds' Manchester Guardian

Autorenporträt
John Cowper Powys (1872-1963) was a celebrated British novelist, essayist, and philosopher, renowned for his ambitious, thought-provoking works of modernist literature. Born in Derbyshire, England, Powys was part of a distinguished literary family and spent much of his life lecturing, teaching, and writing on both sides of the Atlantic.His novels - including Wolf Solent (1929), A Glastonbury Romance (1932), and Weymouth Sands (1934) - established him as one of the most original voices in 20th century English fiction. Known for their blend of psychological depth, mystical vision, and philosophical reflection, Powys's works have drawn comparisons to James Joyce, Thomas Hardy, and D.H. Lawrence, while maintaining a style uniquely his own.A passionate observer of human nature and the natural world, Powys infused his fiction with metaphysical inquiry, lyrical prose, and psychological insight. Today, he is remembered as a modernist master whose novels continue to captivate readers who seek literary classics of depth, imagination, and enduring relevance.
