Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Good. Trade paperback. (ISBN 0-9645611-7-4) Illustrated with stunning, stylish black and white photographs. Good tight copy, unread, good glossy wrappers. This closing century began with a code of behavior. Men, especially white imperial men, should be gentlemen. They should be noble. They should be stoic. They should think of God, Queen/King and Country. When the chips were down, women and children came first first to the lifeboats and the ration queue, last to take the bullet or the bomb. It was a nice thought. As war and social upheaval overtook the century, it quickly unraveled. "Every man for himself!" Wasn't this the truer slogan, the more accurate description of human behavior? Hadn't it always been? This issue of "Granta" is about people "in extremis" over the past hundred years coping stoically, madly, badly with private and public disaster from the Antarctic to the bombing off Belgrade. Including: Jasmina Tesnovic: the Belgrade diary of a political idiot; Edmund White: the dilemma of the positive lover; Edward Said: Why her dog Hawk had to die; James Buchan; How Iraq suffers; Francis Spufford: The gentleman's tragedy; and In Jack: at the grave of Leonado DiCaprio. Plus new fiction from Zadie Smith and photographic essay by Larry Towell on the people who kept the manners and morals of the twentieth century at bay. Fiction.
