A propos de cet article

Publication: London, Jonathan Cape Ltd, 1924 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 287. Condition Report: Very Good. The volume remains securely bound in its original quarter green cloth and buff paper boards, maintaining a firm, square profile with only a slight forward lean. The extremities show light shelf-wear, most notably a gentle bump to the upper right corner of the front board and minor rubbing to the spine ends, whilst the printed paper spine label remains fully intact and boldly legible. Internally, the text block is bright and clean, free from major foxing or extraneous markings, though the untrimmed fore and bottom edges exhibit uniform, age-appropriate toning, and the top edge is slightly dust-soiled. The preliminary and terminal leaves display mild offset browning, a natural consequence of the dust jacket flaps resting against the paper. The rare original dust jacket is remarkably well-preserved for its vintage, showing some mild overall toning, minor edge wear, and short closed tears at the folds and spine ends, yet it remains entirely unclipped and highly presentable. Catalogue Note: This is a true first edition, first impression of the author's highly regarded first collection of short stories. It was O'Flaherty's third published book, issued during a remarkably prolific period that would establish him as a leading figure of the modern Irish literary renaissance. The volume is presented in its standard trade binding and retains the exceptionally scarce original dust jacket, which still bears the original '7s. 6d. net' price on the front flap and features a striking Celtic knotwork border. A faint circular blind-stamp is present on the copyright page, a feature sometimes associated with contemporary circulating libraries or early review copies. Finding this early 1920s Jonathan Cape production with its fragile dust jacket intact and in such collectible condition is increasingly uncommon on the open market. In Spring Sowing, Liam O'Flaherty turns his uncompromising, unsentimental gaze toward the rugged landscapes and resilient people of rural Ireland. This foundational collection of thirty-three short stories captures the raw, elemental forces of nature and the profound passions of those who work the land. The title story masterfully depicts a newly married couple embarking on their first spring sowing, blending themes of agrarian hardship with a delicate, budding romance. Hailed by contemporaries for its visceral power and sympathetic insight, this collection remains a vital and evocative testament to Ireland's cultural reawakening.…
