About the author
John Alfred Atkins
22 booksJohn Alfred Atkins was a prolific British writer, playwright, poet and novelist.
Atkins graduated from the Bristol University in 1938. Subsequently he worked for Mass Observation and later as Assistant and Literary Editor of the left-wing newspaper Tribune, before his call up for war service arrived in 1943. At Tribune his place was taken by George Orwell.
After the war, he worked as a critic specialising in analysing the work of 20th century writers. He taught in different parts of the world, including Sudan and Poland, and his erudition and breadth of knowledge was immense. He wrote several books for Calder Publishing and other publishers and for the last thirty years of his life was spent quietly in East Anglia.
He was the author of many literary bibliographies (including J. B. Priestley, Graham Greene, Arthur Koestler and Ernest Hemingway), an analysis of The British Spy Novel and the multi-volume Sex in Literature series.

ترجمه ی خشایار دیهیمی، 1377
سری کتاب های جیبی و جمع و جور "نسل قلم" که شرح احوال، زندگی و آثار، و گهگاه نظر منتقدان متعدد در مورد یک نویسنده است، با مترجمین زبردست در زبان فارسی، کاری ست ستودنی و قابل تحسین، کمبودی که در ادبیات فارسی مشهود بود، و متاسفانه، و به احتمال قوی به دلیل شرایط، متوقف ماند. به نظر می رسد این سری آثار، به همت خشایار دیهیمی و یکی دو تن دیگر از اهل قلم در ایران شکل گرفته باشد. با تشکر و سپاس از این تلاش ادبی سترگ

بدون شک کوستلر یکی از بهترین ها است. ترجمه این کتاب بی نظیر بود. برای کسی مثل من که زیاد آشنا به زمانه مورد بحث کتاب نیست می تونه خیلی کمک کننده باشه.
