Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First UK Edition. London: Edward Arnold, 1908. Socialist muckraker Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) ran for political office and wrote some 100 books; he won a Pulitzer Prize in 1943. Quite naturally, "The Metropolis" focuses on economic inequality, contrasting the lives of the super-rich wi…th those of the poor. [Could this be strangely relevant today?] This is a Very Good copy of the First English Edition, published in the same year as its American cousin. Not a common title. The striking decorative orange binding features a flying devil attacking the Statue of Liberty. Clean text; 342 pages, with two pages of publisher adverts in the rear. Mildly rubbed, with dusty edges. The orange of the front cover and the spine have faded considerably; the rearcover still retains a bright aspect. In an archival plastic protector. First UK Edition. Decorative Cloth. Very Good/No Jacket. Illus. by Geo. M. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Geo. M. (illustrator).
