Arnold Bennett

How to Live on 24 Hours a Day (1910), written by Arnold Bennett, is part of a larger work entitled How to Live. In this volume, he offers practical advice on how one might live (as opposed to just exit) within the confines of 24 hours a day.

Priam är en framgångsrik konstnär som har en last: han är extremt blyg. När hans bekänt dör under mystiska omständigheter sker något underligt. Man tror att det är Priam som har dött. Priam beslutar sig för att utnyttja detta till att få leva ett anonymt liv, men när hans konstverk börjar cirkulera på marknaden blir hans misstänkt för att vara en konstförfalskare. För att tvätta sig fri från anklagelser ställs Priam inför ett problem. Ska han berätta sanningen? Eller ska han fortsätta leva en annan mans liv? -

Riceyman Steps is a novel by British novelist Arnold Bennett, first published in 1923 and winner of that year's James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction. It follows a year in the life of Henry Earlforward, a miserly second-hand bookshop owner in the Clerkenwell area of London. Arnold Bennett was a keen amateur sailor and it was while on sailing trips on the Solent he discovered a chaotic second-hand bookshop in Southampton. He would visit the shop when bad weather prevented sailing and on one visit he bought a book on misers for sixpence. This book and the shop itself became the inspiration for this novel. Bennett also loved the Clerkenwell district of London which with its unpretentious working class life reminded him of his own origins in the Potteries. The location Riceyman Steps was modelled on Granville Place (now Gwynne Place) the steps of which lead up from the Kings Cross Road to Granville Square. Bennett's steps are "twenty in number, ... divided by a half-landing into two series of ten," whereas the steps of Granville Place number (from the bottom) fifteen, with eleven more from the half-landing. Granville Square, now a residential square containing a small park, was in 1923 dominated by St Philip's Church, which was demolished in 1936. (wikipedia.org)
