Description:
London: Secker & Warburg, 1980. First British edition, preceding the South African first of this modern classic by the Nobel Prize-winning author. Octavo, original cloth. Signed by J.M. Coetzee on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket without the usual sunning to the spine with a small closed tear. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. An exceptional example. Waiting for the Barbarians is an allegory of oppressor and oppressed. Not just a man living through a crisis of conscience in an obscure place in remote times, the Magistrate is an analogue of all men living in complicity with regimes that ignore justice and decency. "I have known few authors who can evoke such a wilderness in the heart of a man.... Mr. Coetzee knows the elusive terror of Kafka" (Bernard Levin, The Sunday Times). It was chosen by Penguin for its series Great Books of the 20th Century and won both the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize for fiction. American composer Philip Glass… Read More

Description:
New York: Published by Hurd and Houghton at the Riverside Press, 1871. First edition of the author's first commercially published book in BAL's binding A; the most elaborate of the three variant first edition bindings, of which there is no known priority. BAL 2135. Octavo, original publisher's cloth with gilt titles and tooling to the spine and front panel, pale yellow endpapers. In very good condition with the gilt decorations very bright. Housed in a custom folding chemise case. "Burroughs' first book, Notes on Walt Whitman, is something of a literary anomaly, being possibly written in part by Whitman himself. In his second, he steps into his proper field. Though not published until he was nearly forty, Wake-Robin is a book of youthful ardor. Its freshness is unquestioned, its philosophy charming and its manner that of distinguished literature. As a popular essayist on nature Burroughs was the successor of Thoreau, -- less imbued than the latter with a sense of its ethical significance,… Read More
