Explanation Concering Books The Stars Look Down

The Stars Look Down was A.J. Cronin's fourth novel, published in 1935, and this tale of a North country mining family was a great favourite with his readers. Robert Fenwick is a miner, and so are his three sons. His wife is proud that all her four men go down the mines. But David, the youngest, is determined that somehow he will educate himself and work to ameliorate the lives of his comrades who ruin their health to dig the nation's coal. It is, perhaps, a typical tale of the era in which it was written (there were many novels about coal mining), but Cronin, a doctor turned author, had a gift for storytelling, and in his time wrote several very popular and successful novels.

Vērtējums 2,6 zvaigznes, kas pēc matemātiskas noapaļošanas dod 3 zvaigznes. Grāmatas anotācijā teikts, ka stāsts ir par ogļraču ģimeni Anglijas mazpilsētā, taču tas ne tuvu neatspoguļo grāmatas sižetu un ideju. Grāmata drīzāk ir par sociālekonomisko situāciju Anglijā 19.gs. sākumā, pirms un pēc pirmā pasaules kara. Feniku ģimenes traģēdija ir tikai viena no sižetiskajām līnijām. Cauri visai grāmatai vijas dažādo sabiedrības slāņu un šķiru cīņa un naids. Cilvēki no zemākiem slāņiem cenšas

Nää on tällaisia mutsin kirjahyllyn mysteerikirjoja, joista ei tiedä mitään. Cronin oli tuttu nimi, joten tartuin haasteeseen ja kuink ollakaan, tämä osoittautui kelpo viihteeksi. Nimensä mukaan kirjassa on kaivostyöläisiä ja vähän parempaa väkeä ja Yhdysvaltojen asuttamisen historiaa. Tämän seurauksena aion napata näitä kuvattomia mysteerejä vastakin luettavakseni.

The good thing about Cronin is that he doesn't have to end on a happy note. After all, in this he writes about the very real and hard life of men in a deprived area in the 1930s. We are talking of the times of the Jarrow March, Where 60% of men were unemployed in some northern towns and no state assistance. Even those, who are gifted cannot always pull themselves out.I still find the scenes in the mine and the disaster very harrowing. It is strange to think that this was essential reading and

Some books should have a warning: Reading seriously harms you and makes you feel frustrated. However, it was breathtaking.

Another novel I loved when I was fifteen - I remember saving up my pocket money to buy it from Woolworths. I think this novel inspired me to write more than any other, great story telling....I re-read it recently, didn't love it as much, but it's still interesting and moving.

l'edizione che mi ho letto è la ristampa di una traduzione del 1936. Mi sono imbattuta in termini del tutto desueti e che mi hanno fatto sorridere, la storia molto meno. Chissà perchè ma il finale mi ha fatto molto ricordare i giorni nostri, quando, come allora, solo che ha il denaro e non importa come se lo è procurato diventa il vincente e il corteggiato da tutti.

Having been born and bred in a town just like the mining town in Cronin's book I can attest to the accuracy of the pit accounts. One lives with the characters in the town for the duration of the reading of the book. Quarter of a million words but you are sad that the story ends. Set in the 1903 t0 1933 period in the north of England it describes the conflict between labour and capitalism. This is a world in the capitalist machine age, socialism is a dirty word. Unfortunately, with a few changes
