Graham Greene – The End of the Affair – First UK Edition 1951
£365.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Heinemann in London, 1951. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper has some separation at the top and tail of the spine and some slight toning to the rear panel, with very minor handling marks also present. It has not been price clipped, showing the original 10s 6d net price. The original publisher’s grey cloth is free from notable wear, but with one small spot of sunning to the top of the spine. The internals are not foxed though with the usual toning due to poor paper stock. It is free from previous owner’s ink. The text blocks are clean throughout. The bottom corner of pages 175-178 protrude due to a manufacturing error, which makes this copy rather unique. Overall, this is a near fine copy of a fine work of literature.
The basis for two big screen adaptations, produced in 1955 and 1999 respectively. Set in London during and just after the Second World War, the novel examines the obsessions, jealousy and discernments within the relationships between three central characters: writer Maurice Bendrix; Sarah Miles; and her husband, civil servant Henry Miles.
