Ruth Prawer Jhabvala – Heat and Dust – First UK Edition 1975 – With Booker Prize Winning Band
£385.00
First edition, first printing. Published by John Murray in London, 1975. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper is nicely illustrated by Ron Bowen and is curling at the top and bottom edges. There are some mild handling marks to the rear panel. It has not been price clipped and shows the original £3.95 net price. The boards are bright and tight, with little wear to note. The text blocks are slightly toned and with some slight foxing. Overall, this is a near fine copy of a collectible title.
A novel told in a combination of the first person narrative and a series of flashbacks. The winner of the Booker Prize in 1975, the novel went on to be listed as one of The Telegraph’s top 10 Asian novels of all time. A film was produced in 1983 with the screenplay also written by Jhabvala.
