A New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller "This character-driven romance will enthrall many fans." - Library Journal The New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love returns to her romance roots with this unexpected and redemptive love story, a probing tale that reminds us that mercy can shape even the most broken among us into an imperfect yet stunning masterpiece. ![]() ![]() ![]() His novel The Naked and the Dead was published in 1948. In any case, good or bad, it reminds us that life is like a gladiators' arena for the soul and so we can feel strengthened by those who endure, and feel awe and pity for those who do not. Norman Kingsley Mailer (Janu November 10, 2007) was an American novelist, journalist, essayist, playwright, film-maker, actor and political activist. In his introduction to the fiftieth-anniversary edition of the novel, Mailer asserted that The Naked and the Dead reflects what he learned from Tolstoy: compassion is of value and enriches our life only when compassion is severe, which is to say when we can perceive everything that is good and bad about a character but are still able to feel that the sum of us as human beings is probably a little more good than awful. In the course of the novel, the men struggle to survive and find meaning in their lives. The novel focuses on the adventures of a fourteen-man infantry platoon stationed on a Japanese-held island in the South Pacific during World War II. Most reviewers deemed the novel to be one of the best war stories ever written, praising Mailer's realistic depiction of men at war. Published in 1948, The Naked and the Dead earned overwhelming popular and critical acclaim. ![]() |
