Front panel of dustwrapper bright. ***190mm x 126mm. 88 pages. ***'Mr Scott-King is a middle-aged schoolmaster [and a classical scholar, almost a poet], who has found his affinity, his special subject, in an obscure seventeenth century poet, Bellorius, who dimly lived in the part of the Habsburg Empire which is now the totalitarian state of Neutralia. The Neutralian Government invites Scott-King to take part in the Bellorius tercentenary celebrations; he accepts, and is plunged into the nightmare of totalitarian hospitality and into the life of modern Europe.' (Quote from inside front flap of dustwrapper). ***The life work of Bellorius was in describing a fictional utopian island in the New World. However, the moral of Scott-King's Modern Europe is that attempts to create a rational Utopia should be expected to result in a repressive dystopia. A satire on post-1945 totalitarianism, the story sets out in particular Waugh's attitudes towards communism in the Balkans. Evelyn Waugh gathered most of his material for the story from a trip he made to Franco's Spain in the summer of 1946.' ***First impression of the true first edition, complete in its original fragile colour-illustrated 1940s dustwrapper, suitable as a good reading copy. ***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.

Condition: Near Fine
Description: 8vo, colour printed frontis., some occasional light fore-edge spotting, orig. cloth gilt. A near fine copy in lightly spotted dustwrapper which has two small closed nicks else VG+. Set shortly after the end of the Second World War, the story's central character is Scott-King, a middle-aged schoolmaster who for twenty-one years has taught classical languages at Granchester, an English public school which is his own old school. Cautious and monosyllabic, he is described by Waugh as "a praiser of the past and a lover of exact scholarship" and is characterized as representing the old-fashioned virtues of honesty, decency, sanity, and, ultimately, heroism. During his summer vacation, Scott-King visits Neutralia, a totalitarian republic ruled by a military dictator who was able to keep his country from becoming embroiled in the recent World War. The occasion for Scott-King's visit to Simona, the capital city, is that by publishing an English language translation of a long Latin poem by Bellorius, a minor 17th century Neutralian poet, followed by a monograph on Bellorius himself, he has come to be seen as a leading authority on the work. He has therefore been invited by the government of Neutralia to take part in a scholarly conference marking the poet's tercentenary. Unhappily, Scott-King does not think to inform the British government of his visit. At the same time as the Bellorius Tercentenary, Neutralia is hosting several other events, including a large philatelic conference and an international gathering of women athletes, and in Simona Scott-King meets a variety of remarkable characters. One of these, a scholar from Switzerland, is murdered, and Scott-King is tricked into laying a wreath for a questionable hero and unveiling a statue which is not what it seems, causing him to flee Simona disguised as a nun. On arrival at a Mediterranean seaport, he finds himself surrounded by anarchists, monarchists, Trotskyites, prostitutes, ballet dancers, former Gestapo officers and Vichy collaborators. After a long sea journey, he arrives without his passport at a camp for Jewish illegal immigants in the British Mandate for Palestine, where he is treated with suspicion until he is recognized by an old boy of his school and is thus able to establish his true identity.

Price: US$16010.80 + shipping
Description: Two copies, both first editions, both in original blue cloth with (supplied) pictorial dustwrappers. Both presentation copies, inscribed by the author to Anthony Powell. The first, in blue biro, in a scrawling hand, "For Tony, the host of Bats with deep respect from Evelyn" with a half page caricature drawing by the author, of a woman with curly hair and a veil and a man (self portrait?) in evening dress. The second copy is inscribed, conservatively and somewhat sheepishly, "Dear Tony, I am conscious of having abused your hospitality by defacing a copy of this story. I accordingly inscribe this with simple esteem & gratitude. Evelyn Earth Tuesday 1955." Both books with Powell's bookplate to the front pastedowns. Both copies near fine with slightly dulled spine lettering in very good dustwrappers indeed. An exceptional association linking two of the great novelists of the twentieth century. "Although two years behind him at Oxford, Powell had seen just enough of Waugh to recognise that he was bound to make his mark in the world somehow. They met again in 1927. Powell warmed to Waugh, whose self confidence had not been dented by the many setbacks he had experienced since leaving Oxford." (Michael Barber - Anthony Powell A Life) It was through his friendship with Powell, that Waugh found his first publisher in Duckworth where Powell worked at the time. Duckworth famously declined to publish Waugh's first novel, Decline & Fall, but remained Waugh's publishers choice for his travel writings. The break up of Waugh's marriage involving Powell's raffish friend John Heygate caused relations between Waugh and Powell to temporarily cool, but both kept up a regular correspondence and common interests saw to it that their lives intertwined for the remainder of Waugh's life. In particular, a mutual support, born of respect for each other's work, remained constant between the two. Upon Waugh's death in 1966, Powell wrote, "his going means that a chunk of my own life has gone too."
