Top edge dyed blue. 19.5 × 14cm, 196pp. First published in France in 1927 as Thérèse Desqueyroux. From the moment she walks from court having been charged with attempting to poison her husband, to her banishment, escape to Paris, and final years of solitude and waiting, the life of Therese Desqueyroux is passionate and tortured. The victim of a hostile fate, Therese, as Mauriac said of her 'belongs to that class of human being. for whom night can end only when life itself ends.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First UK Edition. A later printing of the first UK edition, published in February 1938.

Edges of boards and top and tail of spine slightly creased. Lower corners also slightly creased. The colour of the cloth has faded slightly around the spine, and the dustwrapper design has left an interesting impression of two shadow figures on the spine (due to exposure to sunlight). No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Spine tight without any fraying or tears. Internally also very good.

The little man, John Pinneberg, and his wife, Bunny, two simple souls, struggle bravely in a world of diminishing returns and increasing unemployment. They manage to maintain their high spirits in anxiety and adversity. We love them and their baby, their extravagances and economies. They speak for their generation.' ***'It is vital, charming, humorous, pathetic. And it succeeds in making the reader feel how universal it is.' Gerald Gould, in the Observer. ***'I prophesy that it will be enormously successful. Written out of the conviction that there is a good life to be lived.' J. B. Priestley (Quote and review quotes taken from the inside front flap of the dustwrapper) ***Hans Fallada was one of the best-known German writers of the twentieth century. Born in 1893 in Greifswald, north-east Germany, as Rudolf Wilhelm Adolf Ditzen, he took his pen-name from a Brothers Grimm fairytale. His most famous works include the novels "Little Man, What Now?" and "The Drinker". Fallada died in 1947 in Berlin.'

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Very Good dj. First Edition. [nice solid copy, light soiling to bottom edge, internally clean; jacket is edgeworn, small piece missing at bottom right-hand corner of front panel, faint dampstain near top of front panel, nearly split along rear foldover, still quite attractive]. Futurist fantasy in which a young Greek war refugee, introduced to the wonders of modern machinery, works his way up from garage mechanic to member of an airline crew. This gets him mixed up with a mysterious American arms merchant, and he eventually finds himself a stowaway on a gigantic Russian airship (the "Zodiak") operated by the Militant Anti-God League, which (of course!) takes its marching, er, flying orders straight from Moscow, and whose mission, he discovers, is to blanket the world with Communist propaganda leaflets and thereby lay the groundwork for a World Revolution. The book appears to be chock-full of mystical symbolism and stuff (check the signs of the Zodiac on the jacket spine), and in its closing pages the author quotes that well-known mystic Henry Ford: "Shall we not some day reach a point where the machine is becomes all powerful and the man of no consequence?" Shall we not, indeed.…
