Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Second Edition. A first printing of the re-issued edition, published in 1973. The first edition appeared in 1963. ***Near fine in black cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked, with just some slight rubbing and creasing at the head and tail of the spine. Corners sharp. The binding is straight with no reading lean. Spine tight. Page block edges slightly foxed. Internally also near fine with some interesting gift inscriptions to the front free endpaper (please see scans). No off-setting or foxing to the interior pages. Paper stock clean. No creases or tears. ***In a very good printed dustwrapper, which has been neatly price-clipped at the bottom corner of the front flap. The dustwrapper is complete, with just very slight rubbing and surface loss at the top and tail of the spine, and small nicks to the edges. Small closed tear to the top edge of the back panel. No serious creases or tears. There is some fading to the sun-sensitive yellow colour on the spine, and some slight marks to the white ares of the dustwrapper. ***356 pages. 221mm x 145mm. ***Contents: Part One. The Innocent Eye; Part Two. A War Diary 1915-18; Part Three. The Falcon and The Dove; Part Four. A Dearth of Wild Flowers. ***'Sir Herbert Edward Read, DSO, MC (4 Dec 1893 - 12 Jun 1968) was an English art historian, poet, literary critic and philosopher, best known for numerous books on art, which included influential volumes on the role of art in education. Read was co-founder of the Institute of Contemporary Arts. As well as being a prominent English anarchist, he was one of the earliest English writers to take notice of existentialism. He was co-editor with Michael Fordham and Gerhard Adler of the British edition in English of The Collected Works of C. G. Jung.' (Wiki) ***'Sir Herbert Read wrote no formal autobiography despite his long and prodigiously varied life as much-decorated soldier, art historian, critic, poet, novelist and key figure for nearly half a century in the cultural life of America and England. "The Contrary Experience", perhaps because it is so unconventional in form, is all the more fascinating as the totally candid self-portrait of a great man. "The Innocent Eye" describes his boyhod on a Yorkshire farm, "A War Diary", written during the First World war, describes his life in action and between periods of action, and the reading and thinking of a young infantry officer striving to keep in touch with the world of art and the intellect. "The Falcon and The Dove" is a marvellous recapitulation of an extraordinarily full life, and the final section, "A Dearth of Wild Flowers" is both an exquisite recollection in tranquility and a personal credo.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A new edition of the autobiography of Herbert Read - re-issued ten years after the first edition with a new personal foreword by Graham Greene. Uncommon in all editions. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Codice articolo 9022
