About this Item
Large 8vo. Pp. xi, [3], 368. Notes. Index. Bound in full navy cloth with gilt lettering stamped on the front board and spine. Remainder mark on bottom edge; light dampstain along lower edge cloth and gutter corner of rear endpapers. In the color illustrated dust jacket that shows light edge-wear, dampstain visible on lower inside verso only. Price of $15.00 remains intact on front flap. Said's groundbreaking polemic lambasting the ossified Western view of the East as sensual, lazy, tyrannical, corrupt and retrograde. Among his fresh insights was that Forster, Conrad and Kipling produced novels designed not to question status quo, but to bolster colonialism, to keep the empire intact. The dust jacket features the painting "The Snake Charmer" by Jean-Léon Gérôme. While the condition factors are evident, this copy presents well, with the dust jacket now housed in a removable, clear archival sleeve. . Seller Inventory # 6768
