Erstausgabe
First UK edition, first impression, with the scarce dust jacket, of the first full translation into English of one of the most widely read novels in any language. The product of five years of scholarship, Buck's translation was first published in the US in 1933 in two volumes, with the present edition following just a few months later. All Men are Brothers tells of 108 heroic outlaws, led by Song Jiang, who establish a fellowship on the Liangshan mountain in Shandong and relentlessly uphold values of kinship and virtue in a world dominated by corruption and evil-doers. The novel provides "a vast social panorama, whose characters include nearly all the types and occupations of China. Priests and courtesans march across the pages, along with merchants, scholars, tavern keepers, politicians and minor officials, farmers, fishermen, slaves, aristocrats, and children. There is even a succession of mythical animals. At the center of the action is the robber band, enforcing rough justice in a bad world" (Conn, p. 137). Provenance: from the library of Oliver Russell Moore (1917-2011), with his bookplate on the front pastedown. Moore was a British naval officer who served in China, including at Weihaiwei and Shanghai, during the 1930s. Following the Second World War, in which he served in multiple theatres, he was posted as the naval liaison for the Hong Kong dockyard - a posting which lasted until 1950. Peter Conn, Pearl Buck: a Cultural Biography, 1998. Octavo. Original black cloth, spine lettered in English and Chinese in gilt, top edge gilt. With illustrated dust jacket. With lithographed frontispiece after an illustration from a Chinese edition of the text. Christmas 1933 bookplate of one W. Allan on front free endpaper. Cloth and contents clean, front board slightly bowed, joints beginning to split at foot; jacket price-clipped, losses at spine ends, several splits professionally repaired on verso: a very good copy in acceptable jacket.

She was a Protestant missionary in China from 1914 to 1932. See Wikipedia for more on her. . *** SHUI HU ZHUAN is one of the earliest Chinese novels written in vernacular Mandarin, and is attributed to Shi Nai'an. The story, which is set in the Northern Song dynasty (around 1120), tells of how a group of 108 outlaws gather at Mount Liang (or Liangshan Marsh) to rebel against the government. Later they are granted amnesty and enlisted by the government to resist the nomadic conquest of the Liao dynasty and other rebels. . *** THE LIMITED EDITIONS CLUB FIRST & ONLY LIMITED TO 1500 COPIES HAND-SIGNED & HAND-NUMBERED IN RED PENCIL BY COVARRUBIAS: Please see our photo spine.jpg posted on our website for the author's Signed & Numbered Limitations Page. .

As usual there is some typical minor rubbing to the edges corners, a small tear in the top spine hinge area near the label, and on the lower hinges towards the bottom otherwise the hinges have been reinforced in the distant past from the inside gutters, by and large, firm & stable. . There is a scuff to the front cover of the case and a faint crease near the lower right corner. . The slip case has performed its duty of protecting the books from wear. . The books are firmly & solidly stitched bound, the contents are pristine, clean without issues. . By and large a much better than average example, highly collectible. . *** REFERENCES: . Pearl S.
