Description
One-Year Subscription + Edith Wharton Issue (Four Issues)
Start your subscription with one of The Strand Magazine’s most distinctive literary issues: Issue LXXVIII, featuring Edith Wharton’s “The Men Who Saved the World,” a rare wartime story appearing in our pages for the first time.
Set in the summer of 1918, just miles from the front, Wharton’s story captures a world trying to restore elegance while war still rumbles outside the windows. In a French château, orchids, candles, fine china, and polite conversation return to a dining room that had earlier served as a place where an army surgeon amputated limbs from dawn to dark. The result is classic Wharton: precise, unsettling, and deeply observant about privilege, denial, and the rituals of civilized life.
This special issue also features an in-depth interview with beloved international bestselling author Alexander McCall Smith, whose humane and witty fiction has won readers around the world. Also inside: Sophie Hannah on poetry, puzzles, Agatha Christie, and psychological suspense; Walter Mosley’s “Ike Tooms”; Stephen Spotswood’s “Between the Heart and a Hard Place”; Mike Adamson’s Sherlock Holmes mystery “A Silence in Erith”; and reviews of the latest mysteries and thrillers.
With this bundle, you’ll receive the Edith Wharton issue plus a full year of The Strand Magazine — filled with fiction, interviews, reviews, mystery, suspense, and the classic literary finds that have made The Strand a favorite among readers and collectors.
Perfect for readers who want to sample the best of The Strand while securing this special Edith Wharton issue.
