Description
A first edition, first printing of The Last Word and Other Stories by Graham Greene, published by Reinhardt Books in 1990. A fine book free from internal inscriptions, boards bound in publisher’s original green cloth with gilt titling to the spine, the text block bright and crisp. In a near fine unclipped wrapper with some fading to the spine and bumping to foot of the spine.
The Last Word and Other Stories by Graham Greene is a collection of diverse short stories that delve into themes of faith, morality, politics and human nature. The titular story, “The Last Word,” imagines a dystopian future where Christianity has been eradicated, and the last pope is executed. Each tale showcases Greene’s characteristic wit, insight into human frailty and mastery of suspense. The collection offers a compelling range of narratives, from poignant reflections to darkly ironic scenarios.
