Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. From despair to ambition, virtue to vice, this book provides keen insight into the innermost workings of human nature through a collection of insightful and often witty poems that explore and define the very essence of our humanity. The author combines powerful storytelling with an ability to see into the hearts and minds of both great and ordinary people, mirroring our everyday experiences of love, hate, joy, sorrow, hope, and despair. The author analyzes these experiences, exploring how our thoughts and actions often subvert our intentions and set us on paths we never intended to tread. The book also examines the devastating social consequences of greed, inequality, and poverty and considers how we can build a just and humane world for all, a pursuit which is ultimately advanced through the work of good men and women: those 'wheat of the earth' who stand in resolute opposition to the rogues and rascals who prey on humanity. This wise and wide-ranging collection of poems cuts to the very heart of the human condition, exposing its inherent contradictions and exploring our constant struggle to find meaning and purpose in the face of life's many contradictions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Library buckram. Condizione: V.g. No Jacket. 1st edition. Rebound in red buckram with gilt title on spine, internally a very good unmarked copy. With a short introduction by Peter Cowell, Chief Librarian, summarising the generous gift of a fine library in the will of Hugh Frederick Hornby of Wavertree, along with the sizeable sum of £10,000 to "assist the authorities to provide a building in which to store the collection" - a job they did with aplomb. Whether Hornby would have approved of the use of this space for receptions and openings is an interesting question. His library comprised some 8,000 volumes, mostly chosen "to illustrate the history and progress of the graphic arts from early times to the present". It also contains a complete set of the works issued by the Kelmscott Press. There is also a range of fine bindings, though this catalogue does not cover prints, autographs and art bindings.
