Descrizione

2 vols., 8vo., First Edition, on hand-made paper; original brown buckram, gilt tops, uncut, marbled endpapers, a very good, bright, clean copy in archival film wrappers [wrappers not shown in image]. EDITION LIMITED TO 520 COPIES. Bright, crisp copy of Frederic Manning's masterpiece, published anonymously (as was the expurgated version 'Her Privates We' a year later). The frankness and detail of the story was praised by many of those who shared Manning's front line experiences (including Lawrence and Sassoon) and the work as a whole found favour with men of letters, among them Hemingway and Bennett. Today the work is recognised as the finest novel to emerge from the Great War, and one of the very finest in the literature of warfare. 'No praise could be too sheer for this book' (T.E. Lawrence).
