Un lujoso hotel victoriano y una trama llena de intriga y humor llevada con mano maestra. Ésta es la obra que lanzó a la fama a Arnold Bennett. La novela nunca ha dejado de reeditarse en Inglaterra y fue la obra que más beneficio económico le reportó de toda su carrera; tuvo un éxito considerabilísimo por su perfecta maquinaria narrativa y su calibrada dosificación de efectos dramáticos. Esta obra es una pieza de entidad notable. Los ambientes, por ejemplo, por los que transitan los personajes de la emocionante intriga (desde el gigantesco hotel de lujo hasta el desolado y complejo ámbito portuario londinense; desde la bolsa y su mar de complejas transacciones hasta los palacios del juego y la diversión) están descritos con mano maestra, ofreciendo un fresco inigualable de la Inglaterra fin de siglo, no inferior a ciertas novelas de mayor entidad dramática. Asimismo, los diálogos poseen el humor, encanto e ingenio del mejor Bennett. Un libro, en suma, de deliciosa lectura, y con el intenso aroma de una Europa añeja e irrepetible.

Jules, the celebrated head waiter of the Grand Babylon, was bending formally towards the alert, middle-aged man who had just entered the smoking-room and dropped into a basket-chair in the corner by the conservatory. It was 7.45 on a particularly sultry June night, and dinner was about to be served at the Grand Babylon. Men of all sizes, ages, and nationalities, but every one alike arrayed in faultless evening dress, were dotted about the large, dim apartment. A faint odour of flowers came from the conservatory, and the tinkle of a fountain. The waiters, commanded by Jules, moved softly across the thick Oriental rugs, balancing their trays with the dexterity of jugglers, and receiving and executing orders with that air of profound importance of which only really first-class waiters have the secret. The atmosphere was an atmosphere of serenity and repose, characteristic of the Grand Babylon. It seemed impossible that anything could occur to mar the peaceful, aristocratic monotony of existence in that perfectly-managed establishment. Yet on that night was to happen the mightiest upheaval that the Grand Babylon had ever known.

The Grand Babylon Hotel outwardly signified all that was 'proper' in English tradition; its policy was discretion, its attitude quiet, and its prestige tremendous. An American millionaire and his daughter, driven by freak to buy the stately hotel, break through its unexciting calm exterior to find plots and intrigues involving royal visitors, a murder, a kidnapping, and the apparent attmpted assassination of a prince. The Grand Bebylon Hotel is an adventure story with a dozen different angles, written in a style that only Arnold Bennett could achieve.

When Theodore Racksole—one of the richest men in America, and consequently the world—sits down in London’s Grand Babylon Hotel and orders a beefsteak and a bottle of beer, he isn’t aware that he’s about to become part of a plot involving blackmail, espionage, murder, the royal families of Europe and his daughter Nella. As he’s sucked in to the inner workings of the hotel and its staff he has to make a series of stark choices for the safety of his family and guests. The Grand Babylon Hotel proceeds at a pace that betrays the novel’s roots: it was originally serialized in 1901 in the Golden Penny. It was Arnold Bennett’s second novel, and was followed by at least forty works of fiction along with numerous plays and non-fiction works. Since its original publication The Grand Babylon Hotel has remained in print, and it has also been adapted for film and radio. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
