First edition, first printing of ‘Brief Candle in the Dark’, published by Bantam Press in London, 2015. This is a near fine copy with internals free from inscriptions, bound in publisher’s original cloth boards – a little pushing. The near fine unclipped wrapper with a little pushing to the spine tips – SIGNED without dedication to the title page by Richard Dawkins.

Richard Dawkins’ second memoir, following ‘An Appetite for Wonder’. The title alludes to Shakespeare’s Macbeth, evoking the fleeting yet illuminating nature of life. Dawkins recounts his career as an evolutionary biologist, public intellectual, and advocate for science and reason. He reflects on writing ‘The Selfish Gene’, engaging in debates on religion, and mentoring others, highlighting his lifelong mission to champion rational inquiry and evidence-based thought.
