First Edition of Graham Greene’s England Made Me
First British edition of this early novel by Greene, which would later be republished as The Shipwrecked in 1953. Octavo, bound by Brian Hall in three quarters morocco over cloth boards with gilt titles to the spine in six compartments with raised gilt bands, gilt ruling to the front and rear panels. In fine condition.
Anthony Farrant has always found his way, lying to get jobs and borrowing money to get by when he leaves them in a hurry. His twin sister Kate persuades him to move and sets him up with a job as a bodyguard to Krogh, her lover and boss, an all-powerful Swedish financier. But Farrant does have a sense of decency. When Krogh gives orders that offend him, he leaks information to Minty, a down-trodden journalist, with drastic results. "Greene arouses responses of curiosity and attention comparable to those set up by Malraux, Faulkner and Hemingway" (New Statesman).
