Sobre este artículo
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1933. First American Edition. Very Good/Very Good. First American edition, first printing. Publisher's mauve cloth with black and purple spine decorations. Very Good with lean to spine, previous owner address stamp to front free endpaper and toning to pages. In a Very Good unclipped dust jacket with chipping and several short tears at the edges, rubbing and several small chips to the folds, and light toning to spine. A lovely copy of Orwell's first published novel, a semi-autobiographical work, which, much as the title promises, details hunger and poverty in two major European capitals.
Sinopsis
