"[Drucker's novels] deserve to be read not just as curiosities of literature but as testimonies of their time. In these subtle evocations of the Europe into which he was born in 1909 and the America in which he made his career, Drucker distilled the lessons of his life." -- Wall Street Journal

“Rich and intriguing” -- Kirkus Reviews on The Last of All Possible Worlds

“Convincing and haunting” -- Publishers Weekly on The Temptation to Do Good

'The late Peter Ferdinand Drucker (19 November 1909 - 11 November 2005) was an Austrian-born American management consultant, educator, and author, whose writings contributed to the philosophical and practical foundations of the modern business corporation. What is less well known is that he was also a rather gifted novelist. Now Paul Dry Books has published two of Drucker's novels under one cover, making them available to a whole new generation of appreciative readers." -- Midwest Book Review
