Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. Murdoch, Iris. The sea, the sea. First edition. London: Chatto & Windus, 1978. Hardback, VG+ in clipped dustjacket with minor shelfwear and small chip missing from top of reverse. Green cloth with gilt lettering to spine. 502pp. Light foxing to top edge of page block. Contents clean and bright. Published in 1978, it was her nineteenth novel. It won the 1978 Booker Prize. The Sea, the Sea is a tale of the strange obsessions that haunt a self-satisfied playwright and director as he begins to write his memoirs. Murdoch's novel exposes the motivations that drive her characters the vanity, jealousy, and lack of compassion behind the disguises they present to the world. Charles Arrowby, its central figure, decides to withdraw from the world and live in seclusion in a house by the sea. While there, he encounters his first love, Mary Hartley Fitch, whom he has not seen since his love affair with her as an adolescent. Although she is almost unrecognisable in old age, and outside his theatrical world, he becomes obsessed with her, idealising his former relationship with her and attempting to persuade her to elope with him. His inability to recognise the egotism and selfishness of his own romantic ideals is at the heart of the novel. After the farcical and abortive kidnapping of Mrs. Fitch by Arrowby, he is left to mull over her rejection in a self-obsessional and self-aggrandising manner over the space of several chapters RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
