In Parenthesis by David Jones (1938)

‘The holy book of twentieth-century visionary modernism. Ancient and brand-new, In Parenthesis is this island’s book of all books, an incomparable and ever-intensifying masterpiece. It is radical, beautiful, humane and mysterious. It is a book about war that has the power to defeat death. It is a living breathing mythic miracle of a book.’ Hardback with original dust-jacket. First Edition. Third Impression.

Condition: Some minor wear and creases to edges of dust jacket. Previous owner’s inscription to front endpaper. Light wear to boards. Dust-jacket a little age toned and marked with some chipping to top of spine, otherwise very good.
