Sound copy with very clean, clear text. 111 pages. "People can't seem to agree if the 'beat generation' is any different from any other generation ... has any more to say ... has any better (or worse) understanding of beauty and spirit ... of art and music ... Youth feels emotion acutely - the thrill of recognition of an experience as old as man, seems to youth personal, private and peculiar. Whatever the verdict of time on the 'beat generation', no one can deny it is articularte. Chief among its chroniclers is Jack Kerouac, a young, compulsive writer who defies convention and reports the 'kicks' and 'flips' of the 'hip'." (Publishers' description) Uncommon edition.

St. Ives: Being The Adventures of a French Prisoner in England (1897) is an unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was completed in 1898 by Arthur Quiller-Couch. Unable to write, Stevenson dictated thirty chapters of the novel to his stepdaughter as a diversion from his debilitating illness. He alternated dictating St. Ives and The Weir of Hermiston but gradually lost interest in the former. The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, shelf wear, hinges and spine heal moderately rubbed, previous owner's name on front end paper else a very good copy.
