Price: US$57.64 + shipping
Condition: Near Fine
Description: Second impression of the true first edition, published in February 1943. The first impression was published in April 1938. ***Near fine in light brown cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still nice and bright, having been protected by the dustwrapper. No bumps - just a very slight crease at the top edge of the back board. Corners sharp. Boards clean and unmarked. Internally also near fine, with no inscriptions. Printed on quality rag-paper. Edges of text-block untrimmed (rough-cut) as is often the case with books published by Faber from this period. Pages clean and bright - just some light foxing to the endpapers. Spine tight. ***In a near fine dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 6s. net. The dustwrapper is complete with no loss. Edges of dustwrapper just slightly rubbed and creased. Apart from some very slight marks, the dustwrapper is beautifully preserved and clean. No chips, creases or tears. ***64 pages. 225 mm x 147 mm. ***'"The Earth Compels" was the second poetry collection by Louis MacNeice. It was published by Faber and Faber on 28 April 1938, and was one of four books by Louis MacNeice to appear in 1938, along with "I Crossed the Minch", "Modern Poetry: A Personal Essay" and "Zoo." The first edition of "The Earth Compels" has the following blurb on the flap of the dust jacket: "Mr. MacNeice's position as a poet was incontestably established in 1935 by his first volume of Poems. He is one of the few poets to-day none of whose poems could have been written by anyone else. His second volume has been awaited for some time: now that it has arrived, it needs no advertisement." "The Earth Compels" is dedicated "To NANCY" (Nancy Coldstream, later Nancy Spender, with whom Louis MacNeice had an affair during 1937-38), and has an epigraph from a Greek tragedy MacNeice was then translating, Euripides' Hippolytus. According to Jon Stallworthy, in his biography of Louis MacNeice, the epigraph may be roughly translated: 'We are manifestly all obsessively in love with this thing that glitters on the earth.' Jon Stallworthy gives the following summary of "The Earth Compels:" "The book offers an impressionistic picture of a journey from brightness, 'The Sunlight on the Garden' (from which poem its title is taken), towards darkness; from Carrickfergus to Iceland and the Hebrides; from peace - by way of one World War - into the advancing shadows of another."' [Wiki] ***'It would be difficult to name half a dozen living poets who surpass him at his best. "The Earth Compels" is a distinguished addition to contemporary verse.' - Desmond Hawkins in Time and Tide [Review quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***A nicely preserved example of Louis MacNeice's second poetry collection with Faber, after "Poems" in 1935. A second impression, published in wartime, and hard to find in the original dustwrapper 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.

Deneys Reitz. No Outspan. Faber & Faber, 1943.
Price: US$120.00 + shipping
Condition: Fair
Description: Published in wartime Britain on economy paper. In this his third book Deneys Reitz, author of Commando and Trekking On, in 1944 High Commissioner for South Africa and South African Minister to the Belgian, Dutch and Greek Convernments, continues the story of his life. Deneys Reitz has divided his time between politics, the law, and exploration; and on special missions has visited London, the Maginot Line, Portugal, Franco Spain, and Ireland, where he attempted to persuade Mr. de Valera to co-operate in the prosecution of the war. As Deputy Prime Minister of South Africa, and a member of the Government and an M.P. for many years, politics naturally play a part in his book, but in South Africa politics are so live and virile that they vie with his big game hunting experiences in interest. They reach a climax in the conflict with General Hertzog, and we learn the inside story of the extra osdinarily dramatic events which led up to South Africa's entry into the war. We do not think any book has been so successful in giving us the feel of the country, both physical and spiritual; or, most important, in foreshadowing South Africa's course in future years. Although a book of active adventure, No Outspan is at heart the story of a man's love for his country and of a life dedicated to furthering its unity within the British Commonwealth of Nations. 288 pages with Index. Foldout map. Black and white photos. Spine faded with chip out of top. Small stamps on IFC and flyleaf. Some pages have brown marks at base. Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services. Size: 6" X 9"
