Reader's note

A 1943 First Edition of Splendours and Miseries by Sacheverell Sitwell! This book is intended to suggest, by its title, the cares and anxieties of the past four years prior to its publication. The theme is the immortal soul, in contrast to the brittle things that can be destroyed in war. It includes an unforgettable picture of the battle in the Russian steppe, narrated in the vein of Brueghel, scenes of street fighting, and an account of a tank column on the move. In a different vein altogether, and on purpose, are the lovely episodes describing Chelsea and Dresden China; though Mr. Sitwell brings his readers to earth again with his terrifying account of Orcagna's great fresco of The Triumph of Death. Much more to follow!
