Mr. Crewe's Career

Beschreibung

This political novel follows the rise of Mr. Crewe, a wealthy railroad magnate who embarks on a campaign for political office in New Hampshire. As he navigates the treacherous waters of state politics, the story explores themes of ambition, reform, and the influence of big business on governance. Churchill weaves a narrative rich with satire and social commentary, critiquing the political machine while examining personal and political ideals. Winston Churchill (1871-1947) was an American novelist, born in St. Louis, and a graduate of Annapolis in 1894. He wrote a number of popular historical novels such as Richard Carvel (1899), The Crisis (1901), and The Crossing (1904). His later books, including Coniston (1906), The Inside of the Cup (1913), and The Dwelling-Place of Light (1917), reflected his interest in the social, religious, and political problems of his day.

Autor

Winston Churchill was an American novelist born on November 10, 1871, in St. Louis, Missouri. He is known for being a best-selling writer during the early 20th century, though he is often overshadowed by the famous British statesman of the same name, to whom he was not related. Churchill attended the Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School before enrolling in the United States Naval Academy, where he received his education. Over the course of his writing career, he became well-regarded for his novels, which often explored social, political, and historical themes. His works captured the attention of readers with their engaging plots and deep character development. Churchill spent his later years in Winter Park, Florida, where he passed away on March 12, 1947, at the age of 75. Though he is not as widely remembered today as other authors of his time, his contributions to American literature were significant, and his novels enjoyed considerable popularity during his lifetime. His exploration of human struggles within societal structures continues to offer insight into the social and cultural landscapes of his era.
