GREENE, GRAHAM. The Power and the Glory.

FINE FIRST EDITION GREENE, GRAHAM. The Power and the Glory. 8vo, mustard cloth stamped in red; pages slightly toned as usual; dust jacket, spine panel and exposed edges lightly but evenly toned. London: Heinemann, (1940)

  • Notes: a stunning copy of the first edition in the scarce dust jacket. Greene''s novel about a "whisky priest" in anti-Catholic Central America won the Hawthornden Prize in 1941. "Greene, though conventional in technique, does take his theology into some dark corners and sometimes appears politically, even doctrinally intransigent"--Connolly, Modern Movement #88.
