Three Horsemen of the New Apocalypse by C Chaudhuri

Three Horsemen of the New Apocalypse by C Chaudhuri

Chaudhuri shares the wisdom of his life as a dispassionate scholar and political moralist on a prevalent issue of our time, the decline of western civilization. A highly readable and visionary meditation, this work is characterized by Chaudhuri's capacity for prescience, measured prose, and acerbic judgements on a great variety of twentieth-century issues in the western world.

Nirad C. Chaudhuri (1897-1999) was born in the town of Kishorganj in East Bengal in the year of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. His first book, The Autobiography of an Unknown Indian, was published in 1951 and was followed by many others, including The Continent of Circe, for which he won the Duff Cooper Memorial Prize, and Thy Hand Great Anarch!, a second volume of memoirs. Chaudhuri moved to England in 1970. In 1992 Queen Elizabeth II conferred upon him the title of Honorary Commander of the British Empire.

Ian Jack was the editor of The Independent on Sunday and of Granta. He is the author of The Country Formerly Known as Great Britain and he writes regularly for The Guardian.
