#Repost @foliosociety with @get_repost ・・・ Dame Beryl Bainbridge was born 86 years ago today! The Folio edition of her award-winning portrait of life on board the Titanic, Every Man for Himself, is illustrated with Bainbridge's own spectacular paintings. This Folio edition is the first to be illustrated with her own artworks, and Psiche Hughes, Bainbridge’s biographer and a friend for almost 50 years, has contributed a new preface exploring the links between her paintings and her writing.

It was rejected by several publishers in the late fifties, one of whom wrote on the flyleaf of a first edition: “what repulsive little creatures you have made the two central characters, repulsive almost beyond belief! And I think the scene in which the two men and the two girls meet in the Tsar's house is too indecent and unpleasant even for these lax days. What is more, I fear that even now a respectable printer would not print it!”25% Off + Free Shipping on Everything at Society6 with PromoCode THANKS It’s everything except furniture (sorry), but that does include all of our Library Card carry-all pouches, available in three sizes! 📚 Check out all the great products in our Society6 shop here http://tiny.cc/GasStationB or follow the link in our profile to shop all the designs we have available! Thank you! #gsblibrarycards #gsbatsociety6Born November 21, 1932, Beryl Bainbridge was an English writer known for her works of psychological fiction, macabre tales set among the English working class. She was nominated five times for the Booker Prize and was described in 2007 as "a national treasure", later being named to a list of "The 10 greatest British writers since 1945".Despite criticism over some of the details in her autobiographical writings being called into question as, perhaps, exaggerated, Nadine Gordimer’s decades long fight for human rights and her fiction and nonfiction writing, including the novels “Burger’s Daughter” and “July’s People”, both of which were banned by the South African government, made her a powerful voice in the anti-apartheid movement. In fact, after Nelson Mandela’s release from prison, Gordimer was one of the first people he asked to meet with.Free Shipping on (almost) Everything at Society6 today with promo code SHIPNOW including our new trays, cutting boards and coasters! ☕️ Check out all the great products in our Society6 shop here http://tiny.cc/GasStationB or follow the link in our profile to shop all the designs we have available!
