1924 A Passage to India
About the Item
An exceptional first edition of this canonical work of colonial era fiction, presented in an excellent example of the original unclipped dust wrapper.
An Important Work, First Edition, Original Binding, Pleasing Copy, Scarce, With Dustwrapper
The first edition, first impression, with no further impressions stated. Kirkpatrick A10a.
In the scarce original unclipped dust wrapper. Without price, as issued. Dust wrapper has benefited from sympathetic restoration. Due to the functional nature of dust wrappers of the period, survivals of this sought after wrap are scarce, particularly in such presentable condition.
With three pages of publisher's advertisements to the rear, including an advertisement for 'A Room With A View'.
Based on Forster's experiences in India, A Passage to India explores the racial tensions and prejudices between the Indians and the British during the colonial era. The work sits alongside 'Heart of Darkness' by Joseph Conrad and 'Kim' by Rudyard Kipling as a seminal text in colonial literature.
An impressive first edition of one of the greatest works of 20th century literature.
In the publisher's cloth binding in the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally in excellent condition. Dust wrapper has benefited from restoration, notably to the front of the wrap and joints. Internally firmly bound. Pages bright and clean. Marginal age toning due to paper used.
