It has a unity of period and a unity of place. It is bound together, if not by a common theme, by a common mood - the sense of exile, the exhausted tolerance, the climatic vividness, the queer sideshows that, for a West European, make up that complex of emotions and sensations known as the Near East. Here is the sun on crumbling stucco walls: the endless patience of beggars: the smell of spices mingled with the smell of sweat: the dialogue of lust and death: the moment of rage and passion in the sun: the long cool evening, with the patient drinking, and the inconclusive talk. Here is the sense of life as most vivid when it may seem, in detail, most futile; and for many an Englishman home from the Middle East, here, in all its exquisite painfulness, is that landscape which becomes most haunting when it has been left behind for good. These poems, stories, and sketches, with their loving, malicious, or merely exhausted realism, are remarkably free of any overt moralising tendency; but they set in sharp relief, against the crumbling sadness of an older civilisation, the moral problems of the modern Western man: with his ironies, his conventions, his provincial inhibitions, his anxious self-consciousness, and his taut nerves. ***Many of the writers are well-known already, among them Lawrence Durrell, G. S. Fraser, John Pudney, Olivia Manning; there are others: Sidney Keyes, Keith Douglas, Brian Scott, who will not write again. But the authors have also included many new talents.'

Quite a fragile production, produced shortly after the Second World War, and uncommon in such nice condition. ***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. John Heartfield [Jacket design and typography] (illustratore).…
