Brighton Rock

Graham Greene

GREENE, Graham (1904-1991). Brighton Rock. London: William Heinemann, 1938.



One of the century's most celebrated novels: first UK edition, incredibly rare in the dust-jacket. Brighton Rock deals with the racecourse gangs and thrilling underworld of 1930s Brighton. The first of Greene's 'catholic novels' dealing with serious moral concerns and the struggle between good and evil, it is ‘his most successful attempt to create a work that is as fast-paced as a thriller and as complex as a more leisurely character study.’ Copies in the dust-jacket are notoriously rare; we are able to trace only a handful of such copies in recent auction records. Miller 17b. A Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone.



Octavo. (Contents slightly tanned, short marginal tears to pp.101-104.) Original red cloth, titled in gilt on spine (head of spine very slightly pushed); original pink dust-jacket priced at 7s. 6d. supplied from another copy (tears along two folds, tape repairs to foot of spine on reverse, spine ends frayed, some small chips at corners, lightly marked, creased and spotted).
