FAULKS, Sebastian - Faulks on Fiction. Great British Characters and the Secret Life of the Novel.

Title: Faulks on Fiction. Great British Characters and the Secret Life of the Novel.
Description: Central Book House / BBC Books 2011, 376pp, Illustrated. Paperback. In very good condition. The British invented the novel, with the publication of Robinson Crusoe in 1719 marking the arrival of a revolutionary and distinctly modern form of art. But it's also true, as Sebastian Faulks argues in this remarkable book, that the novel helped invent the British for the first time we had stories that reflected the experiences of ordinary people, with characters in which we could find our reality, our understanding and our escape.
