A propos de cet article

A first edition, first printing of 'Mr. Britling Sees It Through' published by Cassell in 1916. A very good copy. Decorated green cloth with titles and Heinemann imprint in black. Corners slightly bumped but square, slight wear and fading to the corners and to top and bottom of spine. Pages uniformly age toned but supple. With the four page catalogue at back, but seven Philpott titles. Hinges starting but binding sound. In the rare spine browned dust wrapper with a little scratching and some light loss to the corners - some light creasing. H. G. Wells's powerful 1916 novel of wartime England, following the thoughtful writer Mr Britling as the First World War moves from distant crisis to intimate tragedy. Set largely at Matching's Easy in Essex, it captures the shock, patriotism, uncertainty and grief of a society transformed by war. Both domestic and philosophical, the book became one of Wells's most widely read contemporary responses to the conflict.
