Fame Is The Spur is a novel by British author Howard Spring, first published in 1940. The book follows the life of Hamer Shawcross, a young man from a working-class family in Manchester, England, who rises to become a prominent politician and leader of the Labour Party. The story spans several decades, from the early 1900s to the outbreak of World War II, and explores the themes of ambition, love, betrayal, and the cost of success. As Shawcross climbs the ranks of power, he must navigate the treacherous waters of politics and deal with personal tragedies and setbacks along the way. The novel also offers a vivid portrayal of the social and political landscape of England during this time period, including the rise of the Labour movement and the tensions between the working class and the aristocracy. Overall, Fame Is The Spur is a gripping and insightful story of one man's journey to the top, and the sacrifices he must make to get there.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
