H.G. Wells – The Open Conspiracy – First Edition 1928
£450.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘The Open Conspiracy’ published by Victor Gollancz in 1928. A very good book without inscriptions. Some spotting to the top edge. In the rare, good unclipped wrapper with browning to the spine and a rubbed patch to the foot of the front panel. Browning across the panels.
A non-fiction political work arguing for a planned, co-operative world order based on science, education, and rational progress. Wells criticises nationalism, outdated institutions, and economic inequality, proposing an international movement of informed citizens to reshape society. Rather than a secret plot, his “open conspiracy” is public and deliberate: a campaign to create peace, global governance, and a more efficient, humane civilisation.
