AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Lot of 20 volumes in English published between 1883 and 1954, including novels, historical fiction, biographies and classics of Anglo-American and European literature. The lot covers a wide chronological span from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century and consists of editions from historic publishers such as Bernhard Tauchnitz, Macmillan and Co., Jonathan Cape, Everyman’s Library, Modern Library, Signet Books and others.
There are works by prominent authors such as Joseph Conrad, Erich Maria Remarque, Sinclair Lewis, Margaret Mitchell, Zane Grey, Edna Ferber, Pierre La Mure, Hervey Allen, Oliver Wendell Holmes and F. Marion Crawford. The lot includes famous and highly regarded titles such as All Quiet on the Western Front, Gone with the Wind, Main Street, Victory, Anthony Adverse and Giant, alongside historical novels, biographical works and literary fiction that is less common but of notable interest.
There are some first editions available, and also included are volumes from the Bernhard Tauchnitz series and early 20th-century English editions, particularly prized by collectors.
The general conditions of the volumes are mixed, good or acceptable in relation to their age, with normal signs of wear and use. The lot is coherent, balanced for its era and contents, and suitable for both collectors and dealers or scholars of English-language literature.
