About This Item
London: Andre Deutch, 1975. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. First U.K. edition, First printing book in very fine condition. Unmarked, except for red S 1/4"x1/8" neatly centered on top of front paste down? Jacket would be fine except for tiny wrinkle at spine bottom. Fine Jacket is price clipped. " When everybody wants to fight there's nothing to fight for, Everybody wants to fight his own little war, everybody is a guerrilla." It is James Ahmed who sees this, isolated in his 'commune' in the tropical bush: a man supposed to be realizing an ideal in a place with a terrible past and a chaotic present. Guerrillas depicts a convulsion in the island's public life, and ends in private violence. Place and people are evoked with an intensity unrivaled elsewhere in V. S. Naipaul's work. This novel comes with extraordinary force from the centre of a profound moral awareness of the world's plight. A fine collectible and an even better read.
