While so many literary artists of earlier eras fall away, F. Scott Fitzgerald retains a hold on us, both through his work and through his life. There is something inscrutable in him, a fact he recognized himself and which New Yorker writer Arthur Krystal takes head-on in a biography that gives us the life?from a Minnesota upbringing to the most iconic rise and fall in American letters?but leaves the minutiae behind in search of a more penetrating analysis.The Great Gatsby author was obsessed with measuring himself against an unforgiving panoply of artistic and material standards, resulting in a constantly shifting sense of himself?half triumphant, half shattered. Some Unfinished Chaos delivers, at last, a nuanced portrait?in Krystal’s words, a layering of impressions?of a man who knew the rhythms and passions of his society, and who set it down in his imperishable stories while remaining a mystery even to himself.

Marx and Engels on Imperialism
₹7,779.00Together with Marx and Engels on Imperialism, this is the first book to select and bring together Marx’s journalism around a conceptual theme, rather than a mere topic. Whatever the subject — the emergence of a new capitalist politics or the new unionism in Britain, post-1848 Chartism, the East India Company, European nationalisms, or the Taiping Rebellion in China — Marx and Engels’ journalism is shown to constellate around “bonapartism,” a concept that Marx critically appropriated from liberals distressed at the post-1848 order.
