Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
The revised edition of this text includes substantial new material
on hunger in the aftermath of the Cold War; global food productioin
versus population growth; changing demographics and falling birth
rates around the world; the shifting focus of foreign assistance in
the new world order; structural adjustment and other
budget-slashing policies; trade liberalization and free trade
agreements; famine and humanitarian interventions; and the thrid
worldization of developed nations.

IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,

commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
1929. From the dust jacket. Andre Maurois who wrote so
sympathetically of the lives of Disraeli and Shelley (Ariel) has
created here a novel of incomparable charm and originality.
Atmosphere of Love is a study of a man and the two women he loved.
In the opening chapters, Philippe Marcenat narrates his version of
his affair with the woman he loved, madly, jealously; in the latter
part of the novel the mirror is held up at a different angle and
Marcenat's second wife presents her estimate of her husband. By
this original device, we have a subtle and a living portrait of the
hero. At the same time, it is an analysis, profound and clarifying,
of the nature and the course of love and the devastating effect of
human jealousy. Virginia Woolf, the author of Orlando says of this
novel: It would be difficult to find a fellow to it in English. One
cannot bring to mind at the moment any living English writer so
intelligent, so dextrous, so accomplished as M. Maurois. See other
titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
