Roth turned the screw of fantasy and myth one notch higher than others and ended up with a work far truer to the sport: He knew his target, loved it dearly, and knew as well what exaggerations it could withstand." In 2003, USA Today critic Bob Minzesheimer called the work "one of Roth's least known," and added, ĭaniel Okrent once wrote that if "40 percent of The Great American Novel is out-of-control, the remainder is unmitigated triumph. The novel's narrator is "Word" Smith, a retired sports columnist who spends 1943 traveling with the Mundys.Ĭharacters on the Mundys roster are parallels of actual replacement players from the World War II era, such as one-armed outfielder Bud Parusha ( Pete Gray).

Since he has taken a good many, including the attribution of British birth to Helena, Waugh lets his readers know what is legend, what is probably fact, and wherein he has invented or otherwise taken liberties with history. His book purports to deal with the life of Helena, mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine and legendary discoverer of the pieces of wood many Catholics accept as the True Cross. Velyn Waugh's tenth novel finds him for the first time venturing into that happy hunting ground of lesser writers, the historical He refuses to understand how his obsession with river baptism affronts the traditions of the villagers of Kalinga, and his stubborn concept of religious rectitude brings misery and destruction to all. Fanatic and sanctimonious, Nathan is a domestic monster, too, a physically and emotionally abusive, misogynistic husband and father. Nathan Price's determination to convert the natives of the Congo to Christianity is, we gradually discover, both foolhardy and dangerous, unsanctioned by the church administration and doomed from the start by Nathan's self-righteousness.

The emergence of larger and stronger states in the north and east had, by the year 1000, brought patterns of human organization into much greater homogeneity across the continent. Slavic speakers had largely superseded Germanic speakers in central and Eastern Europe, literacy was growing, Christianity had spread, and most fundamentally, Mediterranean supremacy was broken. And yet ten centuries later, from the Atlantic to the Urals, the European world had turned. The farther east one went, the simpler it became: fewer iron tools and ever less productive economies. Although having some iron tools and weapons, these mostly illiterate peoples worked mainly in wood and never built in stone. The rest of Europe, meanwhile, was home to subsistence farmers living in small groups, dominated largely by Germanic speakers. The book's vivid narrative begins at the time of Christ, when the Mediterranean circle, newly united under the Romans, hosted a politically sophisticated, economically advanced, and culturally developed civilization-one with philosophy, banking, professional armies, literature, stunning architecture, even garbage collection. With sharp analytic insight, Peter Heather explores the dynamics of migration and social and economic interaction that changed two vastly different worlds-the undeveloped barbarian world and the sophisticated Roman Empire-into remarkably similar societies and states. "Here is a fresh, provocative look at how a recognizable Europe came into being in the first millennium AD. |
