Sobre este item
New York and London: Harper & Brothers, 1927. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition, American issue, utilizing the British sheets and a cancel title page. Preface by Ford Madox Ford. Blue cloth with printed spine label. A very good copy with minor rubbing and soiling, without dust jacket. A collection of 22 Rhys short stories set in Paris during the 1920s. Ford, a mentor to Rhys, helped bring this collection to publication and requested permission to author the book's long Preface
in which he notes the author's profound knowledge of the Left Bank in Paris. Of the collection, Ford stated "One likes, in short to be connected with something good, and Miss Rhys's work seems to me to be very good, so vivid, so extraordinarily distinguished by the rendering of passion, and so true, that I wish to be connected with it." A Very Good copy of this very uncommon scarce first edition of the Dominican-born author's debut book.
