Beschreibung

All twelve first editions, in original dust jackets. Duodecimos in red cloth with gilt spine titles over black panels. Uniformly very gently worn, with most spines lightly cocked and light foxing to edges. Jackets crisp, toned, and generally very lightly edgeworn, with some small chips (especially at tips) and occasional instances of foxing or damp. The first book is in rather less good shape than the rest, with rubbing to the black panel on spine and with the jacket split completely along its length at the rear fold. An attractive and solid set in color-rich unclipped jackets. Powell's sprawling roman-flueve follows everyman Nicholas Jenkins from his youth in the 1920s until the heady 1970s, examining mid-century English existence through the lens of intersecting lives. It is one of the only works in English with a word-count to approach Marcel Proust's 'À la Recherche du Temps Perdu,' and is still considered to be one of the most significant works of British literature produced in the last century. Overall condition of DJs is Good+. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 122041
