Inhaltsangabe
These are the memoirs of a boy, discovering his own path, through books, films and school. The son of a Jewish doctor who practised in Mile End during World War II, John Gross grew up in a household steeped in the language and traditions of a European past. Yet, outside his home he grew up in a very English world of schools and books and corner shops. Looking back on his childhood with humour and wisdom, he reflects on this double inheritance. The richness of Yiddish words and religion set against the daily life of the East End, where gangsters were heroes. Yet, in the background, lies the shadow of anti-Semitism and the Holocaust.

Hardback. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Large octavo size [16x24cm approx]. Near Fine condition in a Near Fine Dustjacket. Dustjacket now protected in our purpose-made clear archival plastic sleeve. An excellent copy. 190 pages. Full of striking characters and odd encounters, this is an evocative picture of a lost London and a vanished culture, but it is also the story of a bookish boy discovering his own path - away from Mile End into the freedoms of the literary life. John Gross was a notable British literary figure. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. Artikel-Nr. 328772

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. Pages starting to embrown, dustwrapper slightly faded at spine. With the marginal pencillings and underlinings of (Sir) Michael Holroyd in the text, and his manuscript notes on rear blanks; loosely inserted two autograph correspondence cards signed from Susanna Gross, the author's literary-editor daughter (and the book's co-dedicatee), commissioning a review for The Mail on Sunday, three sheets of Holroyd's autograph draft for it, his typed draft with autograph corrections, 5pp. 4to, his finished typed text, 3pp. 4to, and a news-cutting of the published article, 18 March 2001 - "A Double Thread is quietly written, painstaking, subtle and deeply satisfying to read. Gross, who has also written a fascinating study of Shylock and an engaging description of English literary life since Victorian times (as well as becoming editor of that most English institution the Times Literary Supplement), has shown in his career how it is possible to have the best of both cultures.".
