First edition. A powerful novel, which describes the aftermath of a global nuclear war. In it, a small group of survivors gather together on a beach in Southern Australia, awaiting the radioactive cloud rapidly approaching from the North, with each character dealing with the prospect of death in different ways. Originally published as a four-part series in The Sunday Graphic, Shute's concept was purportedly inspired both by his emigration to Australia, and the influence of T.S. Eliot, with the title taken from the poem The Hollow Men, which includes the lines: In this last of meeting places We grope together And avoid speech Gathered on this beach of the tumid river. On the Beach has been adapted for film twice, the first just two years later, with Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, and Fred Astaire in the title roles. . Near Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1957.

Following the war, a radioactive cloud begins to sweep southwards poisoning everything in its path. An American submarine captain is among the survivors left sheltering in Australia, preparing with the locals for the inevitable.

Then a Morse code signal is picked up and the submarine must set sail through the bleak ocean to search for signs of life.
