What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, With Dustwrapper
The first edition of this work in the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper.
Evelyn Waugh's travel novella 'Scott-King's Modern Europe', often known by its other name, 'A Sojourn in Neutralia'. Set shortly after the Second World War, the novel follows the story of Scott-King, a teacher of classical languages, as he travels through Europe.
Discussing themes of utopia, dystopia, totalitarianism, and idea of a modern Europe, the novel is an interesting exploration of life post Second World War.
Evelyn Waugh was a English writer known for his novels, biographies and travel books, as well as a journalist and book reviewer. He is perhaps best known for his work 'Brideshead Revisited', and the satire 'Decline and Fall'.
Condition
In the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, cloth is very smart, with some losses to the spine lettering. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean except for offsetting to the end papers. Dust wrapper is mostly bright and smart, with a little chipping to the head and tail of the spine and to the folds of the flaps, and a touch of sunning to the spine.
Very Good Indeed
