‎ORWELL GEORGE. FIRST DANISH EDITION OF "ANIMAL FARM"‎

‎Kammerat Napoleon. Illustreret af Sys Gaugin.‎

‎Vilhelm Priors Forlag 1947. Uncut unopened in the original illustrated wrappers. A bit of wear to extremities otherwise a very fine copy. Illustrated in colours. � First Danish edition of one of the most important literary works of the 20th century the satirical-political masterpiece that so magnificently reflects the events leading up to the Russian Revolution and brilliantly caricatures Stalinism. As Orwell himself put it with this work he deliberately tried "to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole". Orwell "Why I Write". <br><br>"Animal Farm" brilliantly portrays not only the corruption of the revolution but also how traits of human character themselves corrupt society. The greatest flaw of revolution is not the corrupt leadership on its own but also the greed indifference ignorance shortsightedness wickedness etc. that govern the individuals that make up the masses. <br><br>The work was written between late 1943 and early 1944 when the wartime alliance with the Soviet Union was at its height and Stalin was held in highest esteem in Britain among both the people and intelligentsia. Not surprisingly it was initially rejected by both British and American publishers and the publication of it was thus delayed. When it did appear 1945 it became a great commercial success however probably not least due to the soon to follow Cold War. <br><br>The work is generally considered one of the best and most influential literary productions of the 20th century. unknown‎

‎ORWELL George.‎

‎Keep the Aspidistra Flying.‎

‎London: Victor Gollancz Ltd 1936. An exceptional association copy inscribed by Orwell to Anthony Powell Octavo. Original blue cloth titles to spine in blue. A very good copy light soiling with a little wear to the spine ends and rear joint and the faint remains of a Boots label to the front cover. First edition first impression. Signed by the author for fellow novelist Anthony Powell "Geo. Orwell" on the front endpaper with Powell's bookplate to the front pastedown. The first edition consisted of 3000 sets of sheets of which only 2500 were bound. Of these more than 200 were destroyed during the war. The book which "would eventually produce one of his Orwell's most substantial adult friendships" Taylor - Orwell The Life. Powell recalls buying this book and the friendship with Orwell which followed in the first volume of his autobiography Infants of the Spring 1976. "When Down and Out in Paris and London appeared in 1933 someone recommended it. I read the book and was impressed by its savagery and gloom. At the same time I cannot claim to have immediately marked down Orwell as a writer of whom one would obviously hear more. However a year or two later when I saw a copy of Keep the Aspidistra Flying in a secondhand bookshop I bought it. Again I liked the novel for its violent feelings and presentation of a young man at the end of his tether rather than for its form or style which seemed strangely old fashioned in treatment. I spoke of the book dining with Cyril Connolly. Connolly then told me Orwell was one of his oldest friends. He urged me to write a fan letter. This I did thereby making my first Orwell contact in 1936" Powell included a copy of his recently self published Caledonia and received a friendly if hesitant reply from Orwell. It was not until some five years later that they met in person whereafter they would meet and correspond regularly for the remainder of Orwell's life. An exceptional association copy. George Orwell was a parsimonious signer of his books and signed copies of his early novels especially are uncommon. London: Victor Gollancz Ltd, hardcover‎
