Plot summary, “Earthly Powers” by Anthony Burgess in 5 Minutes - Book Review
“Earthly Powers“ is a novel written by British author Anthony Burgess. It was first published in 1980 and is considered one of Burgess’s most ambitious and complex works.
The novel spans a vast time frame, covering over 70 years of the 20th century, and is narrated by Kenneth Toomey, a British writer living in exile. The narrative weaves together historical events, personal relationships, and philosophical musings, exploring themes of religion, sexuality, power, and the human condition.
“Earthly Powers“ follows the life of Toomey, who reflects on his encounters with various historical figures and his own personal experiences. Through his eyes, the reader is taken on a journey through different countries and periods, including Europe, America, and Africa, as well as significant moments in history such as World War II.
The novel explores the complex relationship between religion and morality, particularly through the character of Carlo Campanati, a charismatic Catholic cardinal.
