Sobre este artículo
New York: Random House, 1954. 1st/1st. VG/G. First American edition, Stated First Printing. The book has clearly been read and the initial pages fit looser to the spine than the later pages. Some soiling to the exterior but the lettering remains bright. Aging to paste-downs and a previous owner's name in ink (hidden by the dust jacket flap.) The dust jacket is unclipped ($3.50) with chipping, primarily along the spine ends. Some closed tears and the back has discolored a bit. The photos should indicate the condition of the book better than words. It is a decent copy of a book that is over 60 years old. Protected in a Brodart cover.
ABOUT THE WORLD IN THE EVENING
Against the backdrop of World War II, The World in the Evening charts the emotional development of Stephen Monk, an aimless Englishman living in California. After his second marriage suddenly ends, Stephen finds himself living with a relative in a small Pennsylvania Quaker town, haunted by memories of his prewar affair with a younger man during a visit to the Canary Islands. The world traveler comes to a gradual understanding of himself and of his newly adopted homeland.When first published in 1953, The World in the Evening was notable for its clear-eyed depiction of European and American mores, sexuality, and religion. Today, readers herald Isherwood's frank portrayal of bisexuality and his early appreciation of low and high camp.
