First Edition of Jawaharlal Nehru's Eighteen Months in India; Inscribed by Him

Eighteen Months in India.

NEHRU, Jawaharlal.

Item Number: 91342

Allahabad: Kitabistan, 1938.

First edition of this collection of essays and statements by Nehru. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page in the year of publication, “To Bee, Jawaharlal Nehru Hamirpur Feb. 1938.” In near fine condition. Books signed and inscribed by Nehru are rare.

"The title given to this collection of essays and statements is apt to mislead. This book is not a history of the past 18 months, nor is it the story of a tourist's visit. Since March 1936 I have functioned on the public stage as President of the National Congress. This period has been an eventful one in the ever changing drama of Indian politics, and perforce I have had to play a prominent part in it." Jawaharlal Nehru went on to become Prime Minister of India from 1947-64.
