Introduction by Sven Birkerts

Publication Date: 3/10/2026

Thirty-five years after its original publication, Hopeful Monsters reemerges as one of the “grand intellectual dramas” of the 20th century (—The New York Times).

A sweeping, comprehensive epic, Hopeful Monsters tells the story of the love affair between Max, an English student studying physics and biology, and Eleanor, a German Jew and political radical. Together, Max and Eleanor participate in the great political and intellectual movements which shape the twentieth-century, taking them from Cambridge and Berlin to the Spanish Civil War, Russia, the Sahara, and finally to Los Alamos to witness the first nuclear test.

Originally published as the culminating volume of a series of five works of fiction entitled “Catastrophe Practice” that The Chicago Tribune called “one of the most important extended literary projects of [the 20th] century,” Hopeful Monsters is the first reissue in a new Dalkey Archive initiative to bring Mosley’s epistolary genius back into circulation for modern readers.

"The two things that are extremely impressive about this book are, first, its intellectual energy and rigour and, secondly, Mosley's gift, rivalling Koestler's or Bertrand Russell's, for summarising extremely difficult ideas in an easily intelligible manner." Spectator

"This is a major novel. I read it barely stopping to eat and sleep. It is the sort of book that one reads again and again, making new discoveries at each reading." Hampstead & Highgate Express

"Fascinating. . . . The novel achieves grand intellectual drama." —Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times

"The most ambitious English novel written in the past 50 years ... an amazing achievement." Washington Post Book World

"The culminating volume of a series of five fictions called 'Catastrophe Practice' that may be one of the most important extended literary projects of this century . . . Mosley has been feeling his way toward what is ultimately a hopeful vision of the human prospect after having comprehended—in virtually every sense of the term— the turbulence and torments resulting from this century's fierce intellectual and ideological conflicts." —Chicago Tribune

"A brilliant literary performance." —Forward

"What makes Hopeful Monsters a successful book is not so much its big ideas but the passionate intelligence through which they're refracted." —San Francisco Chronicle

"A rich panorama of 20th-century politics and ideas and an affecting love story, the novel combines the epic sweep and narrative drive of popular fiction and the intellectual authority of the best of Milan Kundera or Saul Bellow." —Newsday

"Intellectual and emotional history become delicately and provocatively joined in an agile narrative of the wages of hope in a monstrous century. . . . One of the grandest novels of ideas of our time." —Voice Literary Supplement

"Hopeful Monsters's success lies in Mosley's skill at personalizing sweeping historical events and complex theories ... an extraordinary novel." Boston Globe

"There is, as always in Nicholas Mosley's writing, the pleasure of eloquent ideas eagerly and warmly shared." —Washington Times

Nicholas Mosley (b. 1923) was raised in London, England. He is the author of a dozen novels and a half-dozen works of non-fiction, including an acclaimed biography of his father, the late Sir Oswald Mosley, leader of the fascist party in England in the 1930s. Films have been made of two of his novels, Accident (using a screenplay by Harold Pinter and directed by Joseph Losey) and Impossible Object. Mosley passed away in London in 2017 at the age of 93.

Sven Birkerts is the author of 12 books of essays and memoir, most recently The Miro Worm and The Mysteries of Writing. Former Director of the Bennington Writing Seminars, he co-edits the journal AGNI. He lives in Amherst, Massachusetts with his wife.

Great fit, great replacement for standard filter.
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Very tight fit, but fit it does. I put this in my 2.5L Ford Escape Hybrid 2020. Fits tight, but well, so no wiggling.

Consistently high quality products
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Have used both their cabin and engine filters for all of my vehicles and will continue with each new vehicle I get. I like that they last a LONG time, are reusable (washable), and help the vehicle run better.

A very tight fit
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I purchased this for my 2022 Escape, It is the same part listed on the KN website, I watched a video on You-tube on how to replace it. The process seemed simple enough, but I'm not as talented as the poster. I finally got the damper unhooked on the right of the door and the two clips that hold the glove box in were easy to push in. This let the glove box fall forward, Now to remove the two phillips screws that secure door of the filter assembly closed. They weren't too bad, but make sure you have a magnet to get them out, or if they drop to retrieve them. Now the door clips need to be spread apart, I broke the left one, but the right one was ok. Swap the filter and then try to close the door. The new filter was a little too thick front to back and made the door very hard to close. I used the screws to hold the door in place. Close the glove box and try to get the damper back on the peg. Search for this video 2020 - 2022 Ford Escape How to Replace Cabin Air Filter

Excellent air quality and value
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Much better than the standard filter for air quality. Similar price to the ones that are thrown away 2-3 times per year.
