Sobre este artículo
London: William Heinemann Ltd,, 1932. The author's first successful novel First edition, second issue, with the corrected text as usual. Greene's early novel is presented here in an attractive example of the dust jacket designed by Philip ("Pip") Youngman Carter (1904-1969). Although published as a novel, Greene later categorized the book as an "entertainment". The character of a pompous author appears in the central section of the novel. In the first issue he was named Q. C. Savory. Upon reading a review copy, J. B. Priestley became convinced that Savory was based unflatteringly upon him. Priestley threatened to leave Heinemann and, as recalled by Greene in A Sort of Life, "if Heinemann were going to lose an author, they would much prefer to lose me". References to "Q. C. Savory" were, accordingly, changed to "Quin Savory". Octavo. Original black cloth, spine lettered and with decoration in gilt. With dust jacket. Removed ownership signature to front free endpaper. Corners and extremities of spine slightly bumped, creases to spine, some foxing; a very good copy. Repairs to reverse of jacket, closed tear to spine, some loss to extremities, a good example of a rare and unclipped jacket. Wobbe A5(a).
