Winston Spencer Churchill entered history as a politician, but he chose literature as his profession and source of material well-being. This is a well-known fact, yet in most studies it is usually mentioned only in passing. The biography offered here fills that gap, telling about Churchill-the-writer: historian, novelist, essayist, reviewer, art historian, and even publisher.
Why did Churchill start writing? How did he choose his topics, prepare his texts, and ensure their publication? You will get to visit the creative laboratory of this famous author and learn how his worldview was formed, how it changed over time, and most importantly—how what he wrote influenced his own decisions and actions, shaping his life.Contents:
