Interpretation Supposing Books Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky (Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky)

Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky are the streets of London… And there people meet and part… And there they fall in love.

For he was in that mood when he loved all human creatures. He loved Ella because she was a good woman, and he loved the other because she was a bad woman. It was a good world.
In brief, because he had given ten shillings to a young prostitute without expecting the usual thing in return he was dreadfully conceited. He was so innocent as to believe the transaction was almost unique. He little suspected cunning mankind’s general awareness of the charms of chivalry. He was in love with himself.
And a man successfully in love desires above all things to sing.

Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky trilogy is the three interconnected moody and beautifully written novellettes of unrequited love.

Nevertheless, the gas-lit walls and objects around him were heavy with his own depression – the depression of one who awakes from the excess in the late afternoon. Only at dawn should a man awake from excess – at dawn agleam with red and sorrowful resolve. The late, dark afternoon, with an evening’s toil ahead, affords no such palliation.

Love is the most desirable and entrancing thing… But an unanswered love may bring much anguish and sadness.

Judge Regarding Books Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky (Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky)

Nothing here that attracts undue attention; the narratives and themes are similar to many stories and movies that may seem even more fundamental or iconic, but-- there is something in the hapless characters Hamilton has rendered that makes it all worthwhile. Each of the three books is driven by a main character, but the overall structure, location and time-frame is the same and shared by all. The three central characters, Jenny, Bob, Ella-- all know each other, and their presence in the other

The author of "Gaslight".Patrick Hamilton is being revived again. And it looks serious this time JB Priestley was an early supporter. Hamilton's book The West Pier was generously described by Graham Greene as "the best novel ever written about Brighton". He was John Betjeman's favourite contemporary novelist. Writers from Julie Burchill to Doris Lessing are warm admirers. Biographer Michael Holroyd has written numerous essays and introductions. Nick Hornby recently described him as 'my new best

I used to work at Great Portland Street and despite the fact that was in the early 2000s not the 1930s, when the book is set, it still transported me back to those quiet little backstreet pubs that probably haven't changed since Hamilton's time. By the end of the first chapter I'd already envisioned the tv adaptation and which pub would feature as the Midnight Bell - Yorkshire Grey or Fitzroy Tavern, clearly. (When I discovered an adaptation had in fact been made and watched it, I'm fairly

I was first introduced to Patrick Hamilton when I watched a TV adaptation of this very book. I went on to try Hangover Square as I'm not keen on reading source material so close to watching something I love. After many years, I finally got around to it and I love it. It shows how faithful the TV adaptation was, but as always with TV, it cannot show effortlessly the inner workings of characters' minds, as a novel can. My favourite section was always Ella's, but when reading the novel Bob's

This is knockout. Its all here, as promised: the respectably hard up, the hanging-on, the kindhearted and the sleazy. Its a novel of small lives on huge canvasses, written with great empathy. Theres plenty of comedy amid the sleaze: memorably awful creeps like Ernest Eccles, the punters and the bar room twits. Ella is all good. Bob is an immature looker and will learn in time. Jenny is fantastically sinister (as the reader, you feel almost hoodwinked yourself). In some respects its social

I have done it again by rating this Patrick Hamilton novel five stars, despite being very stingy with five stars. I am filled with admiration for Mr. Hamilton's gifts as a storyteller and his marvelous style. I am unable to put down his novels. This exceptional work is actually a trilogy, with each part about one of the characters and their experiences at roughly the same time frame.
