Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Book Club Edition. This is a very nice German edition of George Meredith's Great Comic Romance, "The Egoist" , Translated into German by Hans Reisiger. "The Egoist" is considered one of the major novels penned by George Meredith. This comedy of manners was first published in 1879. The intricacies of the plot are many and pleasant to read, and the various characters introduced as foils or to further the 'intrigue' are well-drawn. Good humor, biting satire, and a portrait of English society that has a verisimilitude, rarely matched.The translator has appended an afterword for German readers.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Here is the 1897 First Edition of George Meredith's "An Essay on Comedy, and the Uses of the Comic Spirit". The book was published by Archibald Constable and Company in Westminster. There is a note on the leaf subsequent to the title page stating : "This essay was first published in the 'The New Quarterly Magazine' for April 1877". Nevertheless, the book here offered is the First Edition as a stand-alone book publication. George Meredith was an English poet, novelist and man of letters. He is most remembered for the novels, "The Ordeal of Richard Feveral", "Diana of the Crossways", and "The Egoist". Meredith had many literary friends, and was an influence on Thomas Hardy, R. L. Stevenson, George Gissing, and J. M. Barrie. "An Essay on Comedy", itself, has been quite influential. TITLE : An Essay on Comedy and the Uses of the Comic Spirit AUTHOR : George Meredith (1828 - 1909) IMPRINT : Archibald Constable and Company PLACE : Westminster, England DATE : 1897 EDITION : First Edition STATUS : Out of Print - OP DETAILS : Trade hardcover; 5" x7 1/2", brown, heavily sized, brown buckram cloth, with gilt lettering on spine; rough-cut text-block edges (top edge lightly trimmed); [106] pages, plus 8 pages of publisher's advertising. CONDITION -- VERY GOOD -- This is a previously owned book that remains clean and presentable, with the following particulars noted: EXTERIOR -- Mild compression to spine extremities; spine extremities are mildly rubbed, with slight lessening of color; joints are modestly rubbed; front board is heavily rubbed, and has a bit of scratching; rear cover rubbed, but scratching is much less in extent; bottom edges of boards have mild shelf rub, and there is one 'ding' to the front board's fore-edge; board corner tips are intact; all in all the cover remains decently solid. BINDING --The paper over the hinge of the front end-papers is slightly cracked; the book has obviously been read, but the whole remains fairly tight, with no detached or loose leaves. INTERIOR -- The end-papers are considerably foxed - this is obviously a production effect from the glue used to affix the paste-downs (not egregious in effect- at least to me). The previous owner's signature with date and brief inscription is lightly penned on the front free end-paper ( H. C. Sherwood / Xmas 1897 / from T. H. / 104099). On the rear paste-down is a small book shop label : (Brentano's / Booksellers & Stationers / 37, Avenue de l'Opéra / Paris). The leaves, up to, but not including p.9, have just discernible shallow indentations near the top of the leaves (Pretty vague, but there) . Else the interior is clean with no marking.) This is not a sophisticated copy.…
