THE HOBBIT OR THERE AND BACK AGAIN ... ILLUSTRATIONS BY THE AUTHOR
by Tolkien, J.R.R
- Used
- Hardcover
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1938. Cloth. Frontis, plates and endsheet maps. Near fine, tight and bright, in near very good dust jacket, with a few short tears and creases at edges and flap folds, shallow loss at head and toe of spine, and old tape repairs to a longer (5 cm) tear in the bottom edge of the lower panel and around the crown of the spine. First American edition, first printing (or 'state'), with the bowing Hobbit device on the title, the endsheet maps reversed from their designation in the table of illustrations, no half-title, etc. The bibliographers report that the first American edition (by implication, including both states or printings) consisted of five thousand copies. Tolkien contributed his own four color plates to this American edition due to his concerns that work by American artists might not be compatible with his line drawings. Uncommon in any original form of the dust jacket. HAMMOND & ANDERSON A3B1. BLEILER, p.194.

The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.
