Colin Thubron – Distance – SIGNED First Edition 1996
£45.00
A first edition, first printing of Distance by Colin Thubron, published by Heinemann, London in 1996. A fine copy inscribed by the author in black ink to the title page, with mild toning to the text block. In a similarly fine unclipped wrapper.
Distance by Colin Thubron is a reflective memoir revisiting his youthful travels across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia in the 1960s. Written decades later, it contrasts the idealism and restlessness of youth with the perspective of age. Thubron examines how travel shapes identity, memory and longing, and how places once charged with discovery are altered by time. The book is quiet, elegiac and deeply introspective, meditating on change, loss and the meaning of movement.
