The second novel written by the travel writer Norman Lewis, following on from his first work of fiction, 'Samara', published one year previously. 'Within the Labyrinth' is set after the end of the war, and follows a soldier, Manning, as he travels to a town in Italy devastated by a volcanic eruption. There, he attempts to secure justice for a local partisan hero, imprisoned on false charges by a corrupt police chief. Lewis had served in the British Army in Italy during the Second World War, and his later account 'Naples '44' (subtitled 'An Intelligence Officer in the Italian Labyrinth') was cited by the Telegraph as "one of the great first-hand accounts of the Second World War." Written from his own personal journals kept during the conflict, it is undoubtedly true that this novel, published some 20 years before the author's true account, contains similar testimonials of the war-torn city, its desperate people, and the eruption of Vesuvius. "Were I given the chance to be born again," writes Lewis, "Italy would be the country of my choice." Graham Greene once famously referred to Lewis as "one of the best writers, not of any particular decade, but of our century". A very nice copy of a scarce title. More images available on request.

The author's scarce classic WW2 novel, which Virago went on to republish in 2000. Gellhorn is considered today to be one of the great war correspondents of the 20th century, reporting on almost every major world conflict which occurred within her career spanning some 60 years. Martha Ellis Gellhorn (1908-1998) was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and quickly established herself as a pioneering and fiercely independent woman. Her mother, a suffragist and reformer, took her to her first women's suffrage rally when she was just 7, and by 1926, not wanting to wait for a degree, she left University to begin her life as a journalist. Determined to become a foreign correspondent, she travelled widely in Europe, and became active in the Pacifist movement while on the continent. After returning to the U.S.A., she lived at the White House at the request of her friend, then first lady Eleanor Roosevelt, during which time she helped her write correspondence as well as the "My Day" column in Women's Home Companion. Later, she was hired as a field investigator for the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA), and reported on the Great Depression. She subsequently met Hemingway, and while travelling in Spain together she reported on the rise of the Nazi party. 'A Stricken Field' tells the story of a journalist, Mary Douglas, who returns to Prague under Nazi occupation, only to see first hand the devastation which has been left in its wake, along with a swathe of stricken refugees under a brutal Gestapo regime. Gellhorn had herself visited Prague in 1938 and so it is undoubtedly true that the story she recreates has was based on her own experiences while in the country.
