Sobre este artículo
First American edition of Murdoch's rather rare second book.. Cover has a missing section along top and shelf-wear along top and bottom of spine and shadowing from on inside covers which appear to be from the dj flaps which apparently glued to the inside covers originally. There is also a Brentano;s stamp and some pencil ,marks on the first fly-leaf page. Otherwise, all pages are clear, un-marked and not damaged in any way. Unclipped dj ($3.95) has one large and some small missing sections and shelf wear (see photos). Dj is covered with a Plasti Kleer cover.
Sinopsis
IRIS MURDOCH was born in Dublin in 1919 of Anglo-Irish parents. During the war she was an Assistant Principal at the Treasury, and then worked with UNRRA in London, Belgium and Austria. She held a studentship in philosophy at Newnham College, Cambridge, and then in 1948 she returned to Oxford, where she became a Fellow of St Anne's College. Until her death in February 1999, she lived with her husband, the teacher and critic John Bayley, in Oxford. Awarded the CBE in 1976, Iris Murdoch was made a DBE in the 1987 New Year's Honours List. In the 1997 PEN Awards she received the Gold Pen for Distinguished Service to Literature. Iris Murdoch made her writing debut in 1954 with Under the Net, and went on to write twenty-six novels, including the Booker prize-winning The Sea, The Sea (1978). Other literary awards include the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for The Black Prince (1973) and the Whitbread Prize (now the Costa Book Award) for The Sacred and Profane Love Machine (1974).
