Krátky popis
An engrossing story of passion and exploration that traces the end
of empire and the stirring of a new world order. John Auden was a
pioneering geologist of the Himalayas. Michael Spender was the
first to draw a detailed map of the North Face of Mount
Everest.While their younger brothers - W. H. Auden and Stephen
Spender - achieved literary fame, they vied for a place on an
expedition that would finally conquer Everest.To this rivalry was
added another: their shared love for a painter named Nancy Sharp.
Her choice would determine each man's wartime loyalties. From
Calcutta to pre-war London to Everest itself, The Last Englishmen
tracks a generation obsessed with a romantic ideal.With a cast
including writers, artists, political rogues and spies, this is
narrative history at its most engaging and illuminating. 'Wholly
original... It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that there is
something Tolstoyan to Baker's vast project...Remarkable' Neel
Mukherjee `An exuberant, scene-changing, shapeshifting group
biography' Spectator
