Not price clipped (12s 6d), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy for its age. 212pp. This harrowing book describes the experiences of a soldier in the routed Imperial Japanese Army on the Philippines in the final days of World War II. The story is told through the eyes of Private Tamura who, after being thrown out by his own company, chooses to desert the military altogether and wanders aimlessly through the Philippine jungle during the Allied campaign. Descending into delirium, Tamura is forced to confront nature, his childhood faith, hunger, his own mortality, and in the end, cannibalism. Considered one of the most important novels of the postwar period and based loosely on Ooka's (1909-88) own wartime experiences in the Philippines, the book explores the meaning of human existence through the struggle for survival of men who are driven by starvation to cannibalism. It was subsequently made into a prize-winning film by Ichikawa Kon in 1959. Quite a scarce book. Jacket by John Robinson (ilustrador).…

Condición: Near Fine. dj. First US edition, first printing. Based on Ooka's own experiences, Fires on the Plain explores the disintegration of the human spirit amid the horrors of war. Set on the Filipino island of Leyte as the Japanese army collapses under the weight of the American advance in World War II, the novel follows a soldier's descent into isolation, starvation, and moral ambiguity. Within this devastated landscape, moments of compassion clash with terror, and the boundaries between hope and despair grow increasingly blurred. A modern classic, it remains one of the most powerful antiwar novels of the twentieth century. Faint toning and rubbing extremities, still near fine in very good edge worn and rubbed dust jacket, in mylar cover. Publisher's black cloth and teal boards, in Muni Lieblein dust jacket ($3.50).…
