  • An Egyptian Journal – William Golding

    An Egyptian Journal – William Golding

    A first US edition by Nobel Prize winning William Golding, published by Faber and Faber in 1985.

    Golding’s first novel “Lord of the Flies” a Voyager favourite … strange because originally rejected by Faber and, despite his first, surely significantly .behind his Nobel award … which arrived in 1983 just before the publication of this adventure in Egypt. Aussies will know his Rites of Passage and the other parts of what was a superb trilogy … made into a classic screenplay with Benedict Cumberbatch as the protagonist.

    An unusual and interesting book, a no nonsense account … Golding only needed to please one person … himself. So we quite like his honest views of everything Egyptian on the tour … not done in grand style but in the fashion of any honest adventurer.

    Larger octavo, 207 pages, illustrated with interesting titling .. a very good copy.

    A very different Egypt travel account by the talented irascible sarcastic observant Golding

  • The Old Man and the Sea – Ernest Hemingway – Cape Edition

    The Old Man and the Sea – Ernest Hemingway – Cape Edition

    Published by Jonathan Cape a 1970 edition. Octavo, 127 pages with the magical wrap around dust jacket by Hans Tindal. Some light spotting to page edges, ownership name on free endpaper, otherwise very bright internally … better than good copy in a very good unclipped dust jacket.

    The Nobel citation reads – “his powerful style-forming mastery of the art of modern narration, as most lately revealed in his novel The Old Man and the Sea”.

    Just has to be a reflection of Hemingway’s life a struggle to reach beyond his boundaries …

    Should be everyone’s favourite short read.

  • Penguin Island – Anatole France

    Penguin Island – Anatole France

    An early Modern Library edition, pre WWII publication. Very good condition, top edge stained grey blue to match the binding, very good dust jacket.

    Written in French a most unusual fantasy book by Anatole France, who was awarded the Nobel Prize.

    A wayward Christian lands on an island and mistakes some auks for noble pagans and proceeds to baptise them. As this should only happens to humans, when he finds out he transform the auks to human form and from there the history of Penguinia unfolds .. a satire emulating the history of Europe and some strange affairs.

    Maybe underneath we are really all penguins or auks?
