Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Here is "The House With the Green Shutters" by George Douglas, originally issued in 1901. This edition, published by Collins Clear Type Press, circa 1940 is a handsome cloth-bound hardcover, complete with dust-jacket issued in their Library of Classics, and has an Introduction by R. W. Drawbell. George Douglas Brown was a Scotsman, born in Ochiltree, Ayreshire in 1869. He decided to write the novel using only his first and middle name. This was his only novel, but it was very popular at the time of it first publication. This Scottish realist novel is a somewhat difficult work to tackle, using as it does the curiosities of the local language and a fairly dense prose. But it is well worth the reading. The novel paints a grim picture of economic warfare played out by the local Scottish businessmen against each other. At the center is the market town of Barbie and the Gourlay family, ruled over by John Gourlay. As depicted by George Douglas , Gourlay is a bitter, driven man, seemingly at war with the world, and especially jealous of any perception on his part that his neighbors might be outpacing him in the acquisition of economic success. Drawbell says, in his introduction : "The strength of the characterisation is that you accept Gourlay. You know him to be true. You never doubt his tempers or his tantrums. He is gloriously alive. And for all his faults you never doubt his manhood. He may be gross, he may be brutal, but he is definitely a man. And in the company of the 'bodies' of Barbie, a man among mongrels."
