Celebrating 40 years of Earthly Powers

Earthly Powers book covers

#EarthlyPowers40 is a 40th anniversary celebration of one of Anthony Burgess’s most acclaimed novels, Earthly Powers.

The book won the Best Foreign Novel of the Year award in France, and was shortlisted for the 1980 Booker Prize for Fiction, alongside Alice Munro, Anita Desai and William Golding.

In our special celebration of Earthly Powers, we are revealing highlights from our archive, producing a series of podcasts, writing new articles on Earthly Powers and curating a Wiki site especially dedicated to the novel.

Ignore the dates on this event page: our online Earthly Powers resource is available to browse now — or use one of the links below to jump right in.
