About the Book
The international spy: Being the secret history of the Russo-Japanese war is a fictional narrative that explores the secretive maneuvers of powerful figures who manipulate events leading to war. The story follows an enigmatic spy tasked with uncovering treachery and an alluring yet dangerous figure who seems to play both sides against one another. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to the serious atmosphere surrounding the threat of war. The prologue reveals two imperial sisters expressing concerns about emerging submarine technology that could spell disaster for their nations, hinting at hidden interests pushing for conflict. The spy is summoned to London and receives instructions regarding a potential war between Russia and Japan. His mission takes him to St. Petersburg, where he forms precarious alliances and navigates a treacherous world of espionage filled with deceit and hidden agendas. The opening sets the stage for a gripping tale of intrigue, political maneuvering, and personal stakes in actions that could change the course of nations.
George Allen Upward was a British poet, lawyer, politician, and teacher who left a distinctive mark on early modern literature. Born on 20 September 1863 in Worcester, United Kingdom, he pursued varied careers that reflected his intellectual curiosity and independent spirit. Upward’s literary contributions included poetry that gained recognition in influential circles. His work was selected for inclusion in the first Imagist poetry anthology, Des Imagistes, published in 1914 and edited by Ezra Pound, a figure central to that movement. This association placed him alongside poets experimenting with new forms and clarity of expression. Beyond literature, Upward also engaged in legal practice and politics, reflecting his deep interest in public affairs and justice. His connection to Edward Upward, as a first cousin once removed, highlights a family with notable literary ties. Upward passed away on 12 November 1926 in Wimborne Minster, United Kingdom. His parents were committed to nurturing his intellectual path.
