Resumen del Editor

Wide Is the Gate, written in 1943, is the fourth of the epic eleven-part classic Lanny Budd series written by Upton Sinclair.

Wide Is the Gate followed the 1943 Pulitzer Prize-winning Dragon’s Teeth and introduces Lanny as a secret double agent fighting the Nazis as a supporter of the resistance in Germany. Lanny is living in England with his wife of almost five years, Irma Barnes, the twenty-three-million-dollar heiress. But Lanny is conflicted continuously in his heart and soul for the workers and social justice. He attempts to commit to Irma, to “behave” himself and lead a normal aristocratic life. But foremost he is committed to ending Nazism, Fascism, and the overthrow of the democratically elected Spanish government.

Lanny is awakened at the end of Dragon’s Teeth to the oncoming dangers of the Nazis, and involves himself in a double agent role by helping a new friend, Monck. Monck is a German socialist who is part of the underground and works with the resistance to alert people to the terrors of the Nazis.

Many adventures and dangers present themselves as Lanny travels back into Germany as an art expert, eventually dealing directly with Hermann Göring. He uses the proceeds of the confiscated artwork stolen by Göring to help finance the resistance from inside the heart of Naziland.

Lanny Budd Strikes Again!

Upton Sinclair's Lanny Budd series gets back in the fact lane with Wide is the Gate. The urgency returns in Book 4 of the series and Bronson Pinchot continues his excellent reading of Sinclair's work. With each book in the Lanny Budd series, Sinclair seems more & more prescient with his observations (is he writing about the 1930s or sometime much more recent?). I look forward to continuing the series!

Long awaited audiobook

I’ve always loved the Lanny Budd series. For awhile, the hard copies of the books were rare to find and I thought I’d never be able to listen to the books. They are a lengthy read and once you read them it is a task to reread them. However the audiobooks have made the characters and the much loved literary style of the books come alive again. I’m so happy the series is on audible!
