Description

Hardcover in non price-clipped dust-jacket. 210pp., Index. Illustrated with double page map. No previous owner’s name, no book-plate, no remainder mark. A clean, crisp as new copy. “A Far Country” is the portrait of a remarkable nation, of one of the world’s most independent peoples. But it also deals with the idea of place, with myths of Paradise and images of a promised land. Philip Marsden-Smedley has explored the way that individuals –and whole races– idealize far off places and how this prompts dreams of returning. A very fine copy in a very fine dust-jacket.
