V S Naipaul – Miguel Street – First UK Edition 1959
£450.00
First edition, first printing of ‘Miguel Street’ by VS Naipaul, published by Andre Deutsch in 1959. A very good copy free from inscriptions, boards bound in publishers original black cloth with some rubbing to the lower edges of front and rear boards, toning to the text block – small loss to the bottom corner of the endpaper – perhaps a printer’s errata. In a very good unclipped wrapper, with a little wear to the extremities and some nicks here and there.
Miguel Street by VS Naipaul is a vibrant collection of interconnected stories set in a working-class neighbourhood of Port of Spain, Trinidad. Through the eyes of a young narrator, Naipaul depicts the lives, dreams and struggles of the street’s colourful residents, blending humour, pathos and social observation. The stories explore themes of ambition, failure, love and resilience, capturing both the limitations and the vitality of ordinary lives. It is a vivid portrait of Caribbean life.
