About This Item
London : Jonathan Cape, (1971). First British edition. Winner of the 1971 James Tait Black Memorial Prize - "her major work so far, a novel of great substance and power describing an African nation's struggle to be born and the course of an epic love affair" - an Englishman confronts the inadequacy of his liberal ideas. "Gordimer writes of blacks and whites, but her steady, unblinking eye sees something grey there. You could call it human nature and you would be right. Her true subject is humankind, as it is for every great writer" (Daily Telegraph). Demy 8vo (23cm). [viii],504p. Original brown boards, blocked and lettered in gilt; a hint of bruising, but a very good copy in the M. Mohan dust-jacket - a touch sunned, with some minor edge-wear, but also very good.
