Winston Churchill in writing fiction.

It brings to curiosity by getting to know an unknown artistic side from famous person. I always ignited in watching film with Ronald Reagan and see him in variable roles as a masterpiece Desperate Journey in which he plays a very tough action hero who says a great one-liner "Half American, half Jersey City" and kills myriads Nazis. Many such famous people have love to painting. The incredible actors are excellent painters which are Peter Falk, Sylvester Stallone, Lev Prygunov and Jean Marais (the last more impressive in sculpture works.). As well as interest to art can be from infamous people such Adolf Hitler on whom I say that I couldn't paint as him, but buildings of his works aren't proportional to reality as that can say at all in his compositions. John Hinckley Jr., a man who tried to kill president Reagan, has primitive little boy quality portraits in alongside talented image of his cat, vase with flowers and a post-impressionism. He currently writes and performs songs, which haven't unusualty (he released album "Redemption" and attempted to make "Redemption Tour", but no concert occur due to there were always people who weren't happy to that.). Winston Churchill has interesting works in painting (it's usually landscapes.), but he also wrote multiple books, which mostly non-fiction as speaking for themselves titles "The Second World War" and "A History of the English-Speaking People". There were fiction compositions by British Prime Minister and I familiarized myself with them in one Sunday.


Man Overboard; an episode of the Red Sea (1898)


A short story in three pages, which is unmatured in describing of surrounding and that was in giving unauthentic behavior to a main and only personage who was jettisoned and nobody detected him what ended that he lonely in a sea decides to drown himself. A story with no purpose.


If Lee Had NOT Won the Battle of Gettysburg (1931)


This work is part of compilation If It Happened Otherwise in which authors imagine in what would occur if some historical event went in other way. Churchill describes from position that the Confederates won the Civil War and reasons if it wouldn't be. His vision isn't tantalizing. Eventually I couldn't complete with reading all nine pages by getting nonsense that General Robert Lee became popular what made him a president and he emancipated slaves in that post. I don't think, he could be elected for the White House because he gave liberty to own black servants what deprives probability on be famous. Even imagine that, I'm not sure that he execute that in the Confederate States of America, a state supporting slavery by the way.


The Dream (1947)


This short story wasn't published until 1966 in The Daily Telegraph. Churchill describes himself in painting portrait of his father who appears as a ghost by informing that he wasn't in mind since his death more than fifty years and from there begins conversation in simple and impossible way. It's constant misfire of Winston Churchill - he doesn't feel personage. A man awakes from oblivion and speaks as that nothing unusual was before. A story takes structure Randolph asks question about what happened with that for passed time and his son gives a straight answer. No discussion and no proper reaction from Randolph. They're both don't surprise to each other initially ("because they're Englishmen" doesn't work for me.). I didn't complete for reasonable thing this reading of how Winston says common facts.


Savrola: A Tale of the Revolution in Laurania (1898)


The only long fiction which in form of novel was written by Billy Churchill who will later tell to his friends not to read it. I didn't move after fifth chapter of twenty-second at all. Unchangeable mistakes as writing of surrounding isn't solid with also it can be illogical. Undeveloped personages who sometimes speak impossible to circumstance dialogs and do same with reaction of occurred. A book about fiction country Laurania, which five years under tyrannic rule of a man named Antonio Molara. He suppresses without hesitation an unarmed demonstration by sending soldiers with weapon, but he has fear on becoming popular politician Savrola, who is a rebel leader secretly, by not deciding to slay him due to aforementioned factor. Molara doesn't arrest opponent due to no crime committed by the last. It's likely seems that Winston Churchill didn't know on dictatorships. His antagonist could put Savrola in prison for fiction reason or simply fire him. If he could prevent election by giving lying fact that records of half of registered electorals lost, Molara could easily rid from Savrola. But the big in delirious comes by his Secretary pointing on dictator's wife Lucille for using as bait for creation of scandal. Molara thinks that she willn't agree, but speaks with her about that. Lucille guesses on his plan and offers services voluntary. Her personage is the biggest mess in personality. Before that she was unhappy by that her husband involved in politics and has no attention on her due to that. However, she loves him, worries for him and kisses after suppression of demonstration. I turned pages in forward after impossibility of reading it and I got that will become a typical uniform romance novel, which will come, as I checked on final strokes, to love union between Savrola and Lucille. Yeap, Billy, you were better as Prime Minister even though I hardly disagree with few issues as your favor for saving colonies.
