About This Item
Softcover. Several signs of previous ownership. Some creasing to cover and spine. Stain on back cover. Excellent reading copy. Pages clean with no writing. Wearing book with mild dirt or some staining, mostly on the edges of pages. A collection of thirteen satirical stories, moral fables for the mid-twentieth century. They are devastating in their impact, far-ranging in their fantasy, unswerving in their devotion to reason. Lord Russell called them "Signposts to Sanity" in his introduciton. Lord Russell gives a new twist to the classical device of placing plausible people in improbably situations - in this case their nightmares - which are both timely and timeless , illustrating universal follies and obsessions. 1954. T6.
