Warner Rex
The Wild Goose Chase
London: John Lane Bodley Head 1947 The Wild Goose Chase published in 1937 and Rex Warner's first novel was a groundbreaking piece of fiction. The novel follows three brothers whose journey is a dazzling original political allegory of liberation through Marxism. While most socialist writing of the 1930s took the form of social realism or reportage Warner broke with this tradition drawing instead on surrealism classical mythology fairy tales film and popular genres of the time including Boys Adventure and science fiction. Its publication immediately secured Rex Warner's reputation as a major writer. In the novel three brothers - Rudolph David and George - embark on a dangerous quest in search of the 'wild goose'. Their search takes them into a neighbouring country and they eventually arrive at a sealed-off town where the ruling dictators have enslaved the people and secured a life of privilege for themselves and a few harmless professors who teach at the town's university. Only George the youngest brother is able to stand up against the dictators and he eventually leads a successful revolution against them. Original vintage copy. Reprint. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good Price Clipped. John Lane, Bodley Head hardcover

Warner Rex
Eternal Greece
London: Thames & Hudson 1957 "Ancient Greece was the fountainhead of Western civilization and the richness of the legacy handed down to later generations by the Hellenic world is without parallel. Today only weathered monuments some little more than ruins fragments of friezes and isolated sculptures remain to bear tangible witness to this once flourishing pre-Christian culture. But its spirit lives on: in the records of its poets dramatists and historians and in the very blood of its inheritors. Dr Hurlimann and Mr Warner by dint of a singularly happy collaboration have succeeded in bringing Ancient Greece once more before our eyes. The former has with his camera captured all the qualities that make up the perfection of Greek architecture; the milky clarity of the white Attic sunshine on marble the forlorn dignity of sacred grove and deserted amphitheatre the opalescent shimmer of Aegean bays. To complement these admirable pictures the author of Men and Gods and Greeks and Trojans gives us a lucid account of what he considers to be the salient features of Hellenic civilization incorporating a number of his own entirely new renderings from the works of Ancient Greek writers. Here is a feast for the eye and for the mind. No such authoritative yet readily assimilable record of 'the glory that was Greece' Large format survey of the most important archaeological sites in Greece printed in a large size type face and with marvellous photographs in B & W and colour.175p. illus. Cover slightly sun faded and soiled. Reprint. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. Illus. by Photographs By Max Hurliman. Thames & Hudson hardcover

Watts Edward Jay
Mortal Republic: How Rome Fell into Tyranny
8vo, hardcover i dj, In Mortal Republic, prize-winning historian Edward J. Watts offers a new history of the fall of the Roman Republic that explains why Rome exchanged freedom for autocracy. For centuries, even as Rome grew into the Mediterranean's premier military and political power, its governing institutions, parliamentary rules, and political customs successfully fostered negotiation and compromise. By the 130s BC, however, Rome's leaders increasingly used these same tools to cynically pursue individual gain and obstruct their opponents. As the center decayed and dysfunction grew, arguments between politicians gave way to political violence in the streets. The stage was set for destructive civil wars--and ultimately the imperial reign of Augustus. The death of Rome's Republic was not inevitable. In Mortal Republic, Watts shows it died because it was allowed to, from thousands of small wounds inflicted by Romans who assumed that it would last forever.
