Very Good+ in a Very Good+ dustjacket. Bound in black and tan cloth. Both the spine and the front board are stamped in red. 204pps. Stated first edition. There is bumping to the tips and spine-ends, with the bump at the head of the spine causing a bit of crimping to some pages. Otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. No previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has fading to the red stripes of the spine as well as crinkling and rubbing at the extremities. Some light spotting along the flap-folds. No chips or tears. The original price is intact. ".Originally presented by Mr. O'Faolain at Princeton in the form of the annual Christian Gauss lectures in criticism, these essays assert that to understand a work of art it is necessary to understand the author. With an intense concern for human values too often lacking in literary criticism, Mr. O'Faolain discusses the work of Evelyn Waugh, Aldous Huxley, Graham Greene, Virginia Woolf, Elizabeth Bowen, James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, and William Faulkner. How each author replaced the hero of conventional fiction with a doomed or desperate protagonist of his own invention O'Faolain makes clear with wit, sympathy and a brilliant play of ideas that lead back to the works with enhanced appreciation." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded.
