Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 12mo; xvi, 496 pages; Contents clean and secure in contemporary 19th century red leather spine and corners over marbled boards with faded gilt lettering at spine; scattered light foxing; leather rubbed with small chips. Frontispiece illustration of young Martin after a drawing by Frank Stone. Date on titlepage 1850. The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit is a novel by English author Charles Dickens, considered the last of his picaresque novels. It was originally serialised between January 1843 and July 1844. While he was writing it Dickens told a friend that he thought it was his best work thus far. Several characters in this novel gained popularity, including Pecksniff and Mrs Gamp. The main theme of the novel, according to Dickens's preface, is selfishness, portrayed in a satirical fashion using the members of the Chuzzlewit family, with two of Dickens's great villains -- Seth Pecksniff and Jonas Chuzzlewit. Dickens introduced one of the first literary private detective characters, Mr Nadgett, in this novel. It was dedicated to Angela Georgina Burdett-Coutts, a friend of Dickens.

Prima edizione Copia autografata
Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. Unpaginated. Published in 2008. New Edition of the children's classic. One of Ralph Steadman's finest achievements. The first appearance of the title in the United Kingdom. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the American Edition, which appeared one year later. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition Thus is now scarce. "Signed Copy" yellow round sticker pasted in front. A brilliant production by Ralph Steadman: Oversize-volume format. Yellow cloth boards with black titles on cover and spine, as issued. Art by Ralph Steadman. Text by Frank Dickens. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Re-presents, in a lovely collectible format, Ralph Steadman's and Frank Dickens' "Fly Away Peter". About two lonely animal-outsiders who bond together: Jeffrey, a giraffe with a short neck, and Peter, a bird who cannot fly. "Jeffrey, the giraffe with a short neck, and Peter, the bird who can't fly, quickly become friends because they are both a little different. When they decide to play together, they are surprised to find that a game of hide-and-seek will not only involve all the other animals, but also help solve their problems" (Publisher's blurb). One of the greatest artists of our time whose work has appeared in The New York Times and Rolling Stone Magazine, Ralph Steadman is best-known for his legendary collaboration with Hunter S. Thompson, the late great American journalist. Frank Dickens is beloved for his cartoons, including the popular characters Bristow, Albert Herbert Hawkins, and Boffo. He has won eight Cartoonist of The Year Awards. An absolute "must-have" title for Ralph Steadman and Frank Davis collectors. This Autographed Copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the half-title page by Ralph Steadman. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Edition Thus/First Printing (British) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The British Edition precedes the American by a full year. Copies available online command as much as $175. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. Two of the finest artists of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 184365122X. Signed by Author.

It is hoped that this anthology will help newcomers to Dickens' work to see him, not just enshrined in the amber of "great literature" but as the lively and accessible writer that he really is. Readers more familiar with his works may find that they obtain fresh insights from the spotlight that extracts focus on particular themes and passages. Used- Good. First edition. Small inscription on first page. Some foxing and spotting page edges.
