Seller's Description:
Very Good. SIGNED BY GEORGE ORWELL on the front free endpaper. A solid copy to boot of the 1940 true 1st edition of this uncommon collection of Orwell essays (consisting of 3 lengthy pieces--"Charles Dickens", "Boys' Weeklies" and "Inside the Whale"). Tight and VG in its dark cloth, with rubbing to the spine lettering, light spotting--and a bit of minor staining--at the panels and just a touch of foxing to the endsheets. Orwell's signature of course is legendarily elusive and, given his relatively short life (1903-1950) and the major impact his career had in the world of 20th century literature, is extremely sought-after. Only a very small handful of 20th century authors command comparable respect in the rare book world.
A fascinating collection of essays demonstrating the amazing insights of George Orwell (author of 1984) into future trends. Particularly interesting is 'Politics v Literature' & Lear, Tolstoy and the Fool. However, without exception the essays are very well worth reading and invariably of great interest.
