   Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. 252. The Stars Look Down, by A. J. Cronin (read 19 May 1946) On May 16 1946, I said: "Read some in The Stars Look Down. Rather good:mines in England." On May 18 I said: "I'm plowing right along in 'Stars look Down.' It's very fast-moving now and I like it better than I ever did. It is, in a way, a social sermon." On May 19 I said: "Finished tonight Cronin's 'Stars Look Down.' Abrupt ending. Cronin's quite a writer." (  ) Schmerguls | Oct 8, 2013 |  well, another rather lengthy novel that captured my attention, but sort of let me down at the end. I learned an awful lot about coal mining in England in the WWI era and what a dangerous and thankless job it is. But, I felt that the multiple story threads that kept intersecting here and there were going to culminate in a more interesting end that what i got.....but then again, how often that happens in my own world. And like always, there are at least 10 other Cronins on the shelf.....time will tell..... (  ) jeffome | Jun 20, 2010 | Good rae4ka | Apr 29, 2009 | näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

First published in 1935, The Stars Look Down tells the story of a North Country mining community as its inhabitants make their way through the various social and political challenges of the early 20th century. Digging into workers' rights, social change, and the relationship between labor and capitalism, the struggles of the novel's trifecta of protagonists-politically minded miner David Fenwick, ambitious drifter Joe Gowlan, and frustrated yet meek mining-baron's son Arthur Barras-remain compelling and relevant to readers in the 21st century. The Stars Look Down is one of many tales of the hardships of coal-mining communities during the industrial pre-war, World War I, and interwar periods in Britain, but stands out for its unflinching prose, universal themes, and keen storytelling. The novel was adapted into a 1940 film starring Michael Redgrave as Davey Fenwick, is a New York Times Critics' Pick, and is included in The New York Times Guide to the Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made.
