A propos de cet article

Stated: First published in 2007 by The Penguin Press. In addition, complete number line including number one. Hard cover in very good condition with baby blue boards, wedge wood blue spine cloth, and gold gilt spine lettering. Interior text block clean & tight: no writings, no markings noted but for shadow of stain on front end paper. Smudges on text block edges; black line on bottom text block near spine-possible remainder mark. Dust jacket very good; not price clipped. * From the jacket flap, ". . . the history of an era rather like our own - a time when dissenters and rebels were hemmed in by conformists and hardheaded authoritarians, a time when a nation on the eve of global domination fretted about its future. It was, however, an era when those who argued that a British empire would be a disaster for liberty were eventually squashed by imperialists, just as those who railed against mindless materialism were in the end rolled over by imperialists, just as those who railed against mindless materialism were in the end rolled over by industrialists and the promoters of luxury goods. . . . reveals an era when people were obsessed with the need to appear authentic, and yet forever had doubts about who was and who wasn't - concerns familiar to the "me" age we know so well. . . . .".
