"No man is beaten until he knows and admits he is beaten, and that I will never know nor admit": First Edition of All Aboard for Ararat
First edition of the last of Wells' utopian novels. Octavo, original cloth. Very good in a very good dust jacket. From the collection of British science fiction author Christopher Priest with his ownership signature to the front free endpaper. Priest’s most famous works include The Inverted World (1974), the interconnected “Dream Archipelago” series, and The Prestige (1995), which was adapted into the 2006 Academy Award nominee film of the same name by Christopher Nolan and starring Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson, and Michael Caine. Uncommon in the original dust jacket with noted provenance.
