Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Second impression of the first Folio Society edition, published in 1960 - the first impression appeared in 1959. With beautiful woodcut illustrations by Derrick Harris. ***Near fine in decorative cloth-covered boards with a bordered label on the spine lettered in copper. The boards are clean and unmarked - just slightly faded, with the spine slightly darkened. No bumps or creases. Corners sharp. No fading even to the spine. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Page block edges clean - just dusty and slightly darkened at the top edge. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. No foxing - pages clean and bright. No creases or tears to the thin paper. Without the original dustwrapper or slipcase. ***XIX prelim pages including an Introduction by Kenneth Hopkins plus 636 printed pages. 228mm x 150mm. ***'"The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling," often known simply as "Tom Jones," is a comic novel by English playwright and novelist Henry Fielding. It is a Bildungsroman and a picaresque novel. It was first published on 28 February 1749 in London and is among the earliest English works to be classified as a novel. It is the earliest novel mentioned by W. Somerset Maugham in his 1948 book Great Novelists and Their Novels, in which Maugham ranks the ten best novels of the world. The novel is highly organised despite its length. Samuel Taylor Coleridge argued that it has one of the "three most perfect plots ever planned", alongside Oedipus Rex by Sophocles and The Alchemist by Ben Jonson. It became a best-seller, with four editions published in its first year alone. It is generally regarded as Fielding's greatest book and as an influential English novel.' (Wiki) ***A second impression of the first Folio Society edition, produced on nice quality paper and in a quality binding, and beautifully illustrated. A lovely copy of the work to have as a reading copy - far superior to a modern paperback. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
