Stiles, collector and Grolier member, will discuss his latest book, A Prelude to Immortality: Winston Churchill’s ‘My Early Life' (Unicorn Publishing), which sheds light on why and how Churchill came to write an autobiography that has had global impact. The book has been continuously in print for more than 95 years in English editions and printed in 31 non-English speaking countries in 27 languages. Dr. Stiles has uncovered 62 previously unknown non-English versions. His book analyses Churchill’s unusual and effective writing approach, use of contemporary first-person narrative, and lyric poetry style that vividly portrays dramatic events. Churchill wrote the book to reinvigorate his persona in the public eye, challenge a new generation to become involved in society and politics, paint an image of a bygone era, and tell his own full educational and military saga, while generating needed income.Dr. Gary L. Stiles is a widely published writer, physician, medical researcher, corporate executive, and student of history and art with a 40-year interest in Winston Churchill and his writings. He was the Ursula Geller Distinguished Professor of Cardiovascular Research at Duke University. His previous book subjects include the 19th-century painter William Hart and Punch magazine's depictions of Churchill.Dr. Stiles' book will be available for sale and signing.RegistrationIf you are a Grolier Club member, please register yourself and your guests via the Club website.

Named for Jean Grolier (1489 or 90-1565), the Renaissance collector renowned for sharing his library with friends, the Club’s objective is to promote “the study, collecting, and appreciation of books and works on paper.” Through the concerted efforts of an international network of over eight hundred men and women—book and print collectors, antiquarian book dealers, librarians, designers, fine printers, binders, and other artisans—the Grolier Club pursues this mission through its library, its public exhibitions and lectures, and its long and distinguished series of publications." } ] } ] ```
