Synopsis
A timeless story of decaying middle-class English life after wwI and the generation that tried to escape its values
Christopher Isherwood was only twenty-one when he began his first novel, All the Conspirators. in his introduction to the American edition, Isherwood explains: “All the Conspirators records a minor engagement in what Shelley calls ‘the great war between the old and young.’ And what a war it was!” in many ways this novel (like the classic Berlin Stories) is a period piece growing out of a particular historical situation―clashes between parents and children with all their passionate moral struggles. Isherwood’s vivid portrayal of an older generation trying to hold on while a younger generation tries to wrench free still resonates and disarms."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
From the Back Cover
"The best prose writer in English." - Gore Vidal
"This first novel is a key to Isherwood and the twenties. It is as mature as readable, as concentrated as anything he has written since." - Cyril Connolly
From the Inside Flap
In the Kensington of the 1920s - silver frames, inlaid bureaux, charming sitting-rooms - the 'conspirators', Philip and Joan, fight to throw off the oppressive power of their mother.
