Iris Murdoch – Bruno’s Dream – First Edition 1969
£60.00
A first edition, first printing of Bruno’s Dream by Iris Murdoch, published by Chatto and Windus, London in 1969. A near fine book without inscriptions, toning and spotting to the text block. In a near fine unclipped wrapper, fading to the spine and some rubbing and shelf wear. Wrapper design by Patricia Davey.
Bruno’s Dream by Iris Murdoch is a profound exploration of love, death and human entanglement. The novel centres on Bruno, an elderly, bedridden man reflecting on his failures and desires as he nears death. Around him, family and friends become enmeshed in shifting relationships, betrayals and reconciliations. Murdoch weaves themes of mortality, longing and redemption with her characteristic philosophical depth, showing how even flawed, ordinary lives are bound together in webs of passion, illusion and the search for meaning.
