A propos de cet article

First American Edition, 1st Printing. Hardcover. 7 3/4" X 5 1/4". vi, 116pp. Presents nicely in archival sleeved dust jacket. Wear to unclipped dust jacket with foxing, toning, and shallow chipping to covers, corners, and edges. Several small, closed tears to edges of jacket. Bound in blue cloth over boards with spine lettered in silver. Light rubbing to covers and edges of boards. Dust-spotting to edges of text block. Faint toning to gutters of endpapers. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is firm and sound. A presentable first American printing of the autobiography of political prisoner Krishna Nehru, first published in Bombay in 1946, this 1948 printing is the first American issue, revised from the Bombay edition and with its own foreword and epilogue first published in this edition. ABOUT THIS BOOK: In her autobiography Krishna Nehru told something of her harsh experience in jail. Like her distinguished brother, Jawaharlal Nehru, and all other members of their family, she was imprisoned for her political activity. Now she tells in more detail what life was like in a prison for women, and gives vivid pen-pictures of twelve women she came to know there. Of these, some were "politicals" like herself. But she took the greatest interest in the "criminals," such as Durgi (who poisoned her cruel husband) the drunkard, the prostitute, the matricide, and in the hardened convict wardress. This is a book such as we have not had before from India. And in the microcosm of an Indian prison we see light shed on the life of womankind the world over.(Publisher). 7 3/4" X 5 1/4". vi, 116pp. Presents nicely in archival sleeved dust jacket.

Description de la boutique

Underground Books, ABAA is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop, founded in 2011 as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia, which is now operated by out former store manager as The Underground Bookshop. Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women’s Initiative Mentorship Program. Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.…
