The rebels dug in at the
GPO and the Four Courts,
while the Dubliners looked on
in fascination and resent

reinforcements from England,
they were cheered by the
Irish. Said Pearse on the
fourth day in the GPO:
when we're all wiped out,
people will blame us for
everything, I suppose, and
condemn us. Yet II it hadn't
been for this protest, the war
would have ended and moth
ing would have been done.
After a few years people will
see the meaning of what we
tried to do"
And because the British
commander court-martialed
him and his fellows, and they
died bravely and eloquently,
the Irish did see what they
had been trying to do and set
themselves to finish the job.

A TICKET TO THE STARS.
BY Vasili Aksenov. (Sig-
net; go cents.)
ONE DAY IN THE 'NEW
LIFE" BY Fyodor Abra-
NOV. (Praeger: $500
The Soviet regimes drive
against its liberal-minded
intellectuals has tapered off
in recent weeks to Just a
whisper. But while it was
shrilly attacking the writers
who had fallen under the
spell of bourgeois ideology,"
these two novels were high
on the list of the books being
condemned.
Both of these novels are
fairly accurate-apparently
too accurate for the Krem-
Inns taste - discussions of
different areas of Soviet life,
both embarrassing to the
Communist bureaucracy.
Mr.. Aksenov's novel - a
sort of Russian Catcher in
the Rye"-is about a group
of disaffected Soviet Young
people whose cynical views
of life have been conditioned
by Western music and flashy
clothes.
They are constantly being
compared with the good"
If somewhat dull Russians,
and expectedly, the devils"
are often more interesting
than the angels. Eventually,
the Grant youth see the
right path and pledge to stick
to 1t, but for Soviet readers,
the obvious attraction Of the
novel was not the final
moralizing, but the paths of
sin.
Mr.. Abramov's novel is a
blistering description of a
Soviet collective farm in all
its dismal colors. This re-
viewer has never seen such
a frank discussion of the
inadequacies of the collec-
tives, and as can be expect
ed, Mr.. Abramov's book has
stirred the anger of many
collective farm bureaucratS.

Not only does he not modest
or even touch Miranda, he
allows her complete privacy.
Certainly he does not propose
indecent picture taking an
act which his conscious mind
turns from in distaste and
revulsion.
Miranda is an intelligent,
self possessed, resourceful
girl Of 20. AS the weeks Of her
captivity turn into months
months during which she sell
dom is out Of her cellar and
never out Of the house ex-
cept at night, gagged and
bound-her terror is amelio-
rated with hatred, pity, and
understanding. She cannot
frighten, shame, outwit, or
in any way rehabilitate her
insane captor, who finds all
the happiness his stunted in
tellectual and emotional per-
sonality can assimilate in
saying he loves Miranda, now
and then asking her to marry
him, and simply having her
in the house.
Clearly aware that her
only hope Of escape is to re-
deem. or cure, Ferdinand
(and her efforts, tinged with
human pity, are only about
80 per cent self-protective),
Miranda tries with consid-
cradle skill to make some
kind Of contact with the man.
She fails; she can hold his
attention indefinitely, but
there is absolutely no COM
mon ground of understand
ing or sympathy. At one
point. when Ferdinand dis
covers her secret diary, in
which the abduction is told

erence, he muses. sadly and
articulately, "She never has

pletely impervious, self-cen-
tered man.
Although she has one or
two opportunities to kill him
and escape, Miranda, even
in the extremity Of despair,
cannot steel herself to do the
deed. She does, however, try
to break the impasse and
create a relationship favor

vocatively stripping and Of
fering to make love. The act
leads to q crisis, but not the

Ferdinand is overwhelmed

The story is deepened and
complicated by the foil of
Miranda's art mentor, with
whom she is infatuated, but
who will neither flatter her
talent nor impose upon her
affection, sending her away
in a clean break when she
refuses to be either his mis-
tress or his wife. OF the
novels four parts, this notice
has been concerned with only
the first two; the novelist
has put himself in the posi-
ton Of having to deliver q
dramatic, realistic, and con-
vincing climax and resolu-
ton. He is equal to his task.

OF LLOYD GEORGE. BY
Lord Beaverbrook. Duell,
Sloan & Pearce; $4.950
For those Of us who mere
ly vote men into power and,
thank heaven, have no wish
for power ourselves, the men
on top are often beyond our
comprehension. They rise on
the wings Of ambition; they
enter the White House, or
No. 10 Downing Street; they
unpack their luggage Of
dreams, theories and cliches,
and then the inward battle
begins. They are high in the
Alpsl What next! They be-
come sophisticated. cautious,
naughty and I'm etimes
great: but also sometimes
corrupt. Lloyd George was all
these things and his end, as
a politician, was pathetic.
Usually, quiet and thought
full scholars sit in their val
leys and write the biographies
of these men of power, but,
for once, we have in this
book, one ambitious man
writing the story Of another.

doubt it, so let us search for
the character of the man,
as Lord Beaverbrook saw and
knew him: A biographer from
Canada, fortnight as a tank,
pursuing a Welsh politician,
crafty and brilliant, as his
target. Lord Beaverbrook, in
a narrative that is quick as
daily journalism rather than
tranquil, considered history,
blames arrogance for Lloyd
Georges fall; the peStilence
that attacks the mighty.
The simple truth Is that
Lloyd George was a great
leader during the savage
necessities of the 1914-1918

thing. For example, the
entry on the bombing mission
on the Great Artistic over
Nagasaki, August 8, 1945,
starts with a long excerpt
from the chaplain's prayer,
delivered before take-off. In
the middle Of the article
there is the remark: About
10000 people, one-fifth Of the
population, died." and the
piece continues: 1.-THE neces-
