‎JAMES BURNHAM AND THE MANAGERIAL REVOLUTION‎

‎Berkeley California: Berkeley Young Socialist League 1955. Wraps. Very good. Likely the first separate American printing of this essay which was first published in the May 1946 issue of Polemic. In this critical discussion Orwell born Eric Arthur Blair 1903-50 acknowledges that the general drift has "almost certainly been towards oligarchy" and "an increasing concentration of industrial and financial power" but criticizes the tendency of Burnham's "power-worship" and comments upon the failures in analysis that arise from it. As biographer Michael Shelden observed "Orwell was always at his best when he was on the attack and his Polemic essay on Burnham is a brilliant criticism of the whole concept of power worship." Preceded by publisher's remarks by James Robertson of the Berkeley Young Socialist League the influential leftist campus group. The recto of the rear wrapper includes the YSL Statement of Principles along with a mailing form with the organization's Berkeley and New York addresses. Mimeographed 2 15 p. Original mimeographed blue paper wrappers 8 ½" x 11" bound with staples. Some general toning to the wrappers with offsetting to the rear panel; else very good.

‎Kammerat Napoleon. Illustreret af Sys Gaugin. - FIRST DANISH EDITION OF "ANIMAL FARM"‎

‎Vilhelm Priors Forlag 1947. Uncut in the original wrappers. Wrappers with a few nicks and a tears. 10 cm long tear to spine. Internally fine and clean. <br/><br/><em>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". "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. 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. The work is generally considered one of the best and most influential literary productions of the 20th century. </em> unknown‎

‎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.
