HTML: Upton Sinclairâ??s Pulitzer Prizeâ??winning saga continues as Lanny Budd faces the horrors of Nazi Germany and steps into the fire of the Spanish Civil War Lanny Buddâ??s dedication to social justice and political action has placed a serious strain on his marriage to his heiress wife, Irma, but as he moves through the 1930s, the international art dealer is unable to turn a blind eye to what is happening in Europe.

The fourth installment of an eleven-book series, Wide Is the Gate continues Upton Sinclairâ??s literary journey through the tumult of the twentieth century. An astonishing mix of history, adventure, and romance, the Lanny Budd Novels are a testament to the breathtaking scope of the authorâ??s vision and his singular… (mehr) |

Such is the life of women in wartime, swinging between the two extremes of grief and pride. They send their men forth to do their duty and then seize them in their arms and drag them back. "Oh, Lanny, stay a while this time!" exclaimed this "underground" woman. "Stay and have a little happiness!" But only a minute or two later she was crying, "Oh, poor Spain! Is it going to be saved, Lanny? I can't endure to see another people murdered!"
