"Anthony Adverse will lay hold upon a vast multitude of readers and grip them fast by its fascinations. For it is a living book; if vibrates; it sings itself into the very marrow of the bones."- Paul Jordan Smith in The Los Angeles Times. Fill your heart's desire in Anthony Adverse. It is a book that combines grace and adventure with tragedy and human traits. De Telegraph, Amsterdam, Holland Absolutely magnificent. I loved every word. Noel Coward Extraordinary Achievement Times Literary Supplement An Epic of the Right Type, with color and action, adventure and imagination. Pleasing, fascinating and stimulating from the first page to the last. An extra-ordinary story-teller. Knut Hagberg in Sweden "What a project, and what a book! A work that took four years to write and yet bears the stamp of gusto from the first page to last. A full-bodied tale of birth and death, of love and hate, of fighting, mating, scheming, drifting-of overbearing lords and ancient gentlemen, simpering dames, passionate women of several colors, murder, rapine, revenge, long voyages, desperate encounters. . . . A full adventurous romance, rich in action, heightened by poetic glamor." - Harry Hansen in The New York World-Telegram.
