As Minhas Memórias Vols I & II [Portuguese Edition of "The World Crisis"]

Winston S. Churchill

Verlag: Perceria António Maria Pereira, 1942

Beschreibung

A good plus copy of the first two volumes of the exceedingly scarce first Portuguese edition, in the original publisher's wrappers. The covers show wear and rubbing with losses and cracking to Volume I, and only very minor losses to Volume II. Gift inscriptions to the ffeps of both volumes, but otherwise the contents are clean, while age-toned, with no other markings. This is an exceptionally elusive work. In his seminal work 'A Connoisseur's Guide to the books of Sir Winston Churchill', Richard Langworth states that the Portuguese edition is presumed to follow the two-volume Odhams text, although only the first three volumes have ever been located. This is Churchill's immensely readable account of the events of the First World War. "I cannot think of another twentieth-century statesman who not only spent most of the two world wars in high office but was also able to write of them in such superb English, with such eloquence and verve. Even those who do not usually read war books will be entranced by Churchill's account of the awful, unfolding scene, written as if the reader were a colleague, observing over his burly shoulder the march of events". (Richard Langworth). Text in Portuguese. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers NT002230
