Sobre este item
Edinburgh and London: William Blackwood and Sons, 1915. First edition, first printing. Published by William Blackwood and Sons in Edinburgh and London, 1915. This is a very near fine rebound copy. Rebound in calf, with fine gilt titling, it is highly presentable. The front paste down has been replaced, now with a dark grey card. The inserted title page is slightly toned at the edges, but generally clean. This copy is free from previous ink and is, overall, in very near fine condition.
Sinopse
JOHN BUCHAN was born in Perth in 1875, the son of a Scottish Presbyterian minister, and educated at Glasgow. He gained a first at Oxford University, where he began writing, producing two volumes of essays, four novels and two collections of stories and poems before the age of twenty-five. He worked briefly as a lawyer, then served as a private secretary in the colonial administration of South Africa after the Boer War. During the war he worked both as a journalist and at Britain's War Propaganda Bureau, eventually becoming Director of Information. He published his most popular novel, The Thirty-Nine Steps , in 1915, and it has never since been out of print. In 1935 Buchan was elevated to the peerage, becoming Baron Tweedmuir of Elsfield, and later that year was appointed Governor General of Canada by King George V. He died on February 11, 1940.
