Description:
London: Andre Deutch, 1975. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. First U.K. edition, First printing book in very fine condition. Unmarked, except for red S 1/4"x1/8" neatly centered on top of front paste down? Jacket would be fine except for tiny wrinkle at spine bottom. Fine Jacket is price clipped. " When everybody wants to fight there's nothing to fight for, Everybody wants to fight his own little war, everybody is a guerrilla." It is James Ahmed who sees this, isolated in his 'commune' in the tropical bush: a man supposed to be realizing an ideal in a place with a terrible past and a chaotic present. Guerrillas depicts a convulsion in the island's public life, and ends in private violence. Place and people are evoked with an intensity unrivaled elsewhere in V. S. Naipaul's work. This novel comes with extraordinary force from the centre of a profound moral awareness of the world's plight. A fine…

Description:
Boston: The Four Seas Company, 1917. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Slip Case . 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. This little masterpiece gives perhaps the best sketch of Spanish low-life that has come down to us. The book has been translated from the Spanish with an introduction and notes by Mariano J. Lorente with a preface by R. B. Cunninghame Graham. Riconete and Cortadillo is more intimate than even Lazarillo de Tormes, truer to nature than Guzman de Alfarache and.........and I suppose because Cervantes says so, that it is exemplary. " There are hours of recreation in which the affected spirit rests" to quote Cervantes.Certainly Rinconete and Cortadillo is a work of recreation, and the affected spirit of reading it may rest and smile at the humor it contains. book is as new unread, flawless, which is amazing for a book printed almost one-hundred years ago. There are eight fine plates by Atalana. Book has a hand made binding by Pat Magarick with a beautiful…

About this Item: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York, 2019. Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. First edition/first printing in As New condition in a priced (25.00) As new dust jacket. " Some people reject the fact, overwhelmingly supported by scientists, that our planet is warming because of human activity. In We Are the Weather, Jonathan Foer explores the central global dilemma of our time in a surprisingly, deeply personal and urgent new way. We have , he reveals, turned our planet into a farm for growing animal products, and the consequences are catastrophic. Only collective action will save or home, And it all starts with what we eat and don't ear for breakfast. After reading this book several months ago, I took the central theses very seriously and have not bought or eaten any beef products. I am not a vegetarian and I am not on a soapbox, but facts are facts. This is a fine well thought out book in As new condition, a great thought provoking read.
