Iris Murdoch – Henry and Cato – First Edition 1976
£35.00
A first edition, first printing of Henry and Cato by Iris Murdoch, published by Chatto and Windus, London in 1976. A near fine book with slight bumping to head of spine, toning to the text block. In a near fine unclipped wrapper, with slight creasing to the spine and with some browning to rear panel.
Henry and Cato by Iris Murdoch is a novel about two childhood friends—Henry Marshalson, a reluctant heir returning to England, and Cato Forbes, a troubled priest questioning his faith. Their lives become entangled in a web of moral dilemmas, love, crime and redemption. As both struggle with personal crises and unexpected violence, Murdoch explores themes of duty, belief and free will. The novel is a compelling meditation on human weakness and the search for meaning.
