The Celebrity

Résumé du livre

This is not the British Winston Churchill. This Winston Churchill is an American novelist born in St Louis, Missouri in 1871. Both Churchills communicated with each other and because the American Churchill was the first to publish, Sir Winston Churchill published his works under the name Winston S Churchill. The American Churchill was an officer in the U S Navy. He also was a novelist, essayist, and poet. His novels written in a naturalist style often expressed his political views. In 1898 Churchill published his first novel The Celebrity. The novel satirized the era's literary and fashionable world. Churchill portrayed two kinds of characters that eventually loomed large in his works - the politician and the business tycoon.
