Description

Rare Book 1st Edition "Swan Song" by John Galsworthy, 1928

Recycle, Reuse, ReLove! "Please make an offer via the ‘Questions’ panel below"

Description: "Swan Song," published in 1928, is the sixth novel of the esteemed nine-part series known as The Forsyte Chronicles, a significant and celebrated work in twentieth-century literature. Authored by the illustrious English novelist and playwright, John Galsworthy (1867-1933), whose literary brilliance was recognised with the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932, this book is a testament to his storytelling prowess and deep understanding of human nature and social change. This first edition, new impression from November 1928, is bound in a green cloth hardcover with gilt stamped titles on the front and spine, embodying the elegance and gravity of Galsworthy's work. Despite minor signs of wear on the cover edges and some foxing on the initial pages, the book remains in remarkable condition. The absence of the first blank inside cover page does not detract from the completeness of the text, which is clean, crisp, and fully intact.

Condition: The book is in great condition for its age, with some rough edges on the cover some light discolouration on rear cover and minor foxing on the first few pages. The green cloth cover and gilt stamping have been preserved well, making it a prized possession for collectors and enthusiasts of Galsworthy's work or those with an interest in early 20th-century literature.
