André Maurois Books Overview
The Silence of Colonel Bramble
1920. Translated from the French by Thurfrida Wake; Verses translated by Wilfrid Jackson. Whitlock writes in the Introduction about The Silence of Colonel Bramble: Every English officer one met was chuckling over it, and pointing out Old So-and-so in its pages as the original of this or that type. It was a picture not only of the Lennox Highlanders, but of every regimental and brigade mess in the army.
Atmosphere of Love
1929. From the dust jacket. Andre Maurois who wrote so sympathetically of the lives of Disraeli and Shelley Ariel has created here a novel of incomparable charm and originality. Atmosphere of Love is a study of a man and the two women he loved. In the opening chapters, Philippe Marcenat narrates his version of his affair with the woman he loved, madly, jealously; in the latter part of the novel the mirror is held up at a different angle and Marcenat’s second wife presents her estimate of her husband. By this original device, we have a subtle and a living portrait of the hero. At the same time, it is an analysis, profound and clarifying, of the nature and the course of love and the devastating effect of human jealousy. Virginia Woolf, the author of Orlando says of this novel: It would be difficult to find a fellow to it in English. One cannot bring to mind at the moment any living English writer so intelligent, so dextrous, so accomplished as M. Maurois. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
The Art of Living
A new translation by Sergio E. Serrano of this inspirational book containing sound advice on The Art of Living by the late historian, biographer, and philosopher, Andre Maurois.

Few authors have expressed these timeless principles with more eloquence than Andre Maurois 1885 1967, one of the most celebrated and prolific French writers of the 20th century. An Art of Living is divided into five sections: The Art of Thinking, The Art of Loving, The Art of Working, The Art of Leadership, and The Art of Growing Old.
