‎Orwell, George‎

‎Keep the Aspidistra Flying.‎

‎London: Victor Gollancz 1936. Frist edition of Orwell's classic social criticism of money-worship and status. Octavo original cloth. Very good in the rare original dust jacket with some restoration and flaps restored. First editions in the original jacket are rare. Owell's Keep the Aspidistra Flying centers on the story of Gordon Comstock and his romantic ambition to defy the worship of the money and status and the dismal life that results. Orwell wrote the book in 1934 and 1935 when he was living at various locations near Hampstead in London and drew on his experiences in these and the preceding few years. At the beginning of 1928 he lived in lodgings in Portobello Road from where he started his tramping expeditions sleeping rough and roaming in the poorer parts of London. The novel was adapted into a 1997 film of the same name directed by Robert Bierman and stars Richard E. Grant and Helena Bonham Carter. Victor Gollancz hardcover‎

‎ORWELL, George; pseudonym of BLAIR, Eric Arthur:‎

‎KING CHARLES II.‎

‎Unpublished Typescript. 1932. Typescript comprising two sections: first three pages of carbon copy with Orwell's autograph pencil side-notes recording sound effects the name 'Geoffrey' written twice in red crayon; second twelve roneograph pages with some pencil markings probably in the hand of one of the boy actors Geoffrey Stevens 15 pages folio and 4to spindle holes some slight wear and creasing marginal fraying at outer leaves final leaf torn and reinforced; together with an original photograph of Orwell and his school at this time mounted and labelled. Housed in a purpose made quarter black morocco solander box. Provenance: Geoffrey Stevens; sold Sothebys London Dec. 15th 1988; Private Collection. This short historical play which is written partly in blank verse was composed by the twenty-nine-year-old Eric Blair when he was headmaster at the Hawthorns High School for Boys in Hayes Middlesex a small private school having little more than a dozen pupils as the accompanying photograph shows. It was performed as the school's Christmas play at St Mary's Church Hall in Hayes in 1932. This was in a period when Orwell had finished Down and Out in Paris and London or Days in London and Paris as it was originally titled and was looking for a publisher. He was working on Burmese Days and had only sought the job at Hawthorns because he needed an income. Fed up with his job and his lack of disposable income he then spent the best part of a term writing and rehearsing a school play for the boys to perform. With dramatic speeches noisy altercations involving stocks and pikes unlikely coincidences and some very theatrical dialogue it is little wonder that Geoffrey Stevens one of the boys who performed in the play enjoyed the experience considerably more than Orwell himself who referred to it in a letter to Eleanor Jacques on 19 October as 'a mucky play the boys are to act later'. By 18 November he could record: 'I have had to write & produce a play- am now in the throes of rehearsing it- & what is worst of all have had to make most of the suits of armour etc. for the boys to act it. For the last few weeks I have been suffering untold agonies with glue & brown paper etc.' Collected Essays Journalism and Letters 1968 I 102-105. Geoffrey Stevens whose copy this is remembers the undertaking more fondly: 'The performance lasted only half an hour but we spent hours in preparation finding props constructing the scenery etc. all of which he Orwell supervised closely. It was ambitious. He arranged for plywood doors on either side to have saw cuts made in them so that Cromwell's men could break them open with their pikes. It worked perfectly and made a great crashing noise coming down.' Orwell The Authorised Biography Michael Shelden 1991 p172. Orwell was seldom pleased with his work and destroyed the majority of his manuscripts. King Charles II while it lacks some of the literary gravitas of his published work has pastiche humour and a political message. It remains unpublished and this is the sole known copy.

‎Kolhosp Tvaryn: Kazka Kolgosp Tvarin Animal Farm: A Fairy Tale‎

‎Munich Germany: Vidavnitstvi Prometei Prometheus Publishing House 1947. First Ukrainian Edition. Softcover. Fine. pp. 91. Slim 8vo. Illustrated card covers measuring 15 x 20.5 cm. Black-and-white portrait of Orwell accompanying the only known preface he penned for this work wherein he details his motivations for writing the "fairy story". Exceptionally well-preserved with no evidence of any flaws to the extremities. Contents equally without blemish with firm sound binding. An exceedingly rare offering of this landmark of post-war Ukrainian printing. <br/><br/>While the translator Shevchenko "a highly-educated twenty-four-year-old" refugee and his small press Prometej or Promethius would secure an initial print-run of 5000 copies a mere 2000 would ultimately be distributed. Fearing that the small work was anti-Soviet propaganda which could antagonize their Russian counterparts the remaining 3000 copies would be confiscated by the United States military. As Andrea Chalupa notes in 'Orwell and the Refugees: the Untold Story of Animal Farm' "At the time Stalin was considered a great ally who had helped defeat Hitler; the Western powers acted as if beholden to him. The Americans handed over the seized copies of Animal Farm to the Soviet authorities. Russia had outlawed the Ukrainian language years ago during the time of the czar and the Soviet regime maintained the ban. The books were destroyed." Also contains the first appearance of Orwell's remarkable and unprecedented six-page preface. Written at the urging of the translator "Orwell’s preface to the Ukrainian edition of Animal Farm is a significant document in literary history. It describes the events of his life that shaped a masterpiece of political literature as well as the outlook we today call “Orwellian.” This preface is his deepest discussion of Animal Farm ever published."
