John Crocker has been the friend of the Celebrity, long before he became famous. During a summer retreat at Asquith resort, he runs into the Celebrity, who has taken the identity of another man for anonymity. The Celebrity meets Irene Trevor, the daughter of an Ohio state senator, and asks her to marry him, and she accepts. When a female he perceives as more desirable, Marian Thorn, arrives at Asquith, the Celebrity leaves Miss Trevor without breaking off the engagement. That behavior goes against the moral fiber of the Celebrity's stories. Both women know his true identity as a famous writer and are familiar with his published works. Mr. Farquhar Fenelon Cooke and his wife are wealthy and have a summer retreat of their own named Mohair. The Celebrity leaves Asquith for Mohair to be with Marian Thorn, who is the niece of the Cookes. The slighted Irene Trevor confides in John Crocker that the Celebrity never broke up with her, an action that could be used against him later.

Winston S. Churchill var känd skribent när han gav sig in på den politiska banan. Här tog han sin plats i historien genom sina gärningar, men orden förblev hans verktyg och kan knappast skiljas från hans politiska insats. Ofta stod Churchill själv i centrum för sina skrifter, som därför inte sällan kan läsas som självbiografiska. Samtidigt skänker hans utblick historiska och filosofiska insikter och formulerar en närmast praktisk konservatism. I I ord och gärning skildras Nobelpristagaren i litteratur, statsmannen och människan Churchill genom sina egna ord. Urval och introduktioner till texterna av Svante Nordin, professor i idé- och lärdomshistoria vid Lunds universitet.

Winston Churchill's six-volume history of the Second World War.
Winston Churchill's six-volume history of the cataclysm that swept the world remains the definitive history of the Second World War. Lucid, dramatic, remarkable both for its breadth and sweep and for its sense of personal involvement, it is universally acknowledged as a magnificent reconstruction and is an enduring, compelling work that led to his being awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. Their Finest Hour enthrallingly recounts key events and battles from May to December 1940 as Britain stood isolated while Nazi Germany pursued its seemingly unconquerable war path - the fall of France, Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain, the horrors of the Blitz and Hitler's plans to invade and crush Russia, his sole ally in Europe.
