Patrick White – The Tree Of Man – First Edition 1956
£45.00
A first edition, first printing of the Tree of Man by Patrick White, published by Eyre and Spottiswoode, London in 1956. A near fine copy free from internal inscriptions, bumping to the head of the spine and toning to the text block, a small damp-stain to the fore-edge of text block. In a near fine price clipped wrapper, pushing to extremities, fading to the spine, a small stain to front flap fold and similarly to the rear flap fold hinge.
The Tree of Man by Patrick White is a sweeping portrayal of Australian rural life, following Stan and Amy Parker as they build a farm and family in the harsh outback. Through their joys, struggles and the passage of generations, White examines human endurance, love and the rhythms of ordinary existence. The novel reflects on isolation, mortality and the connection between people and the land, combining lyrical prose with deep psychological insight into life’s permanence and fragility.
