£65.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘The New America: The New World’ published by Cresset Press in 1935. A very good book without inscriptions. In a very good unclipped wrapper with wear and rubbing to the corners and a small chip to the head of the spine.
The New America by H. G. Wells is a travel and social commentary book based on his visit to the United States. Wells observes American energy, industry, politics, education, and everyday life, comparing them with Europe’s older systems. He is fascinated by America’s scale and ambition, but also critical of its inequalities, commercialism, and social contradictions. The book reflects Wells’s interest in modern civilisation and the future direction of democratic society.
