Sobre este artículo
Johannesburg: Silver Leaf Books,, 1949. First edition, first impression, of the author's first book. Face to Face was released a year after the introduction of apartheid in South Africa. A fierce opponent of the policy, Gordimer spent the ensuing decades campaigning against the system and documenting it in her fiction to great international acclaim, eventually winning her the 1991 Nobel Prize in Literature. Octavo. Original blue cloth, titles to spine in silver. With dust jacket. Two tiny chips to top edges of boards, contents lightly toned. An excellent copy in a rubbed and faintly edge-chipped jacket that has been slightly nibbled by mice along the top edge of the rear panel. Driver, Dry, MacKenzie, & Read A1.
