First Edition of H.G. Wells' The New America
First British edition of this sociopolitical commentary of the United States during the interwar period. Octavo, original publisher's blue cloth. Very good in a very good dust jacket with toning and shelf wear. 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.
H. G. Wells’s The New America: The New World is a reflective study of the United States during the 1930s, in which the author examines the nation’s political, economic, and cultural transformation amid the Great Depression. Drawing on his travels and observations, Wells explores America’s contrasts—its optimism and innovation alongside inequality and material excess—while considering its role in shaping a new global order.
