Blurb

The Four-Gated City is a novel, published in 1969, by British Nobel Prize-winning author Doris Lessing. It concludes the five-volume series Children of Violence, a literary achievement which took nearly twenty years. The Four-Gated City is sometimes regarded as one of Lessing's most important works. The book, which finishes in the style of a science fiction story with its bloody end to an epoch, created a stir upon publication, with claims that the novel promoted communism.
