A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

English author Enoch Arnold Bennett (1867 – 1931) was a novelist who worked in journalism, propaganda and film. Bennett won a literary competition in 1889 and was encouraged to take up journalism. In 1894, he became assistant editor of the periodical Woman but was not impressed with the quality of the work so he wrote a serial that later became "The Grand Babylon Hotel". He published the novel "A Man from the North" and later became the magazine's editor. He wrote about books for the Evening Standard newspaper and continued to work on his own novels and non-fiction work. His self-help book "How to Live on 24 Hours a Day" remains in print. In 1903, he moved to Paris to write novels and plays. The French writer Maupassant'a 'Une Vie' inspired "The Old Wives' Tale," which was a success. During WWI, he became Director of Propaganda for France at the Ministry of Information. He refused a knighthood in 1918.

Revue de presse

Bennett writes magnificently of the little movements of the spirit in its daily routine --Margaret Drabble
