150490Rare print of Rudyard Kipling's poem Being a Man more commonly referred to as "If-". One page typed. Boldly signed by author Cormac McCarthy at the bottom right corner. Cormac McCarthy 1933–2023 was an American novelist whose stark prose and often violent themes earned him recognition as one of the most influential literary voices of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. His best-known works include Blood Meridian 1985 regarded as a masterpiece of the American West and frontier violence and the Border Trilogy—All the Pretty Horses 1992 The Crossing 1994 and Cities of the Plain 1998—which brought him both critical acclaim and commercial success with All the Pretty Horses winning the National Book Award. Later No Country for Old Men 2005 and The Road 2006 achieved bestseller status with the latter earning him the Pulitzer Prize and cementing his reputation as a chronicler of human survival and moral ambiguity. In near fine condition. The piece measures 6 inches by 7.5 inches. Housed in a hand-made cloth folder by the Harcourt Bindery. "If—" first appeared in the "Brother Square Toes" chapter of the book Rewards and Fairies a collection of Kipling's poetry and short-story fiction published in 1910. In his posthumously published autobiography Something of Myself 1937 Kipling said that in writing the poem he was inspired by the character of Leander Starr Jameson leader of the failed Jameson Raid against the Transvaal Republic to overthrow the Boer Government of Paul Kruger. The failure of that mercenary coup d'état aggravated the political tensions between Great Britain and the Boers which led to the Second Boer War 1899–1902.As an evocation of Victorian-era stoicism—the "stiff upper lip" self-discipline which popular culture rendered into a British national virtue and character trait "If—" remains a cultural touchstone. hardcover
1930000034<p>New York NY: none 1930. First edition. Hardcover. fine/no dustjacket as issued. As far as I can tell this is the first and only separate edition of this short story which is appears only in the Sussex and Burwasheditions of his work. This is a short story not to be confused with the poem of the same name about the inventors of the bow armor gunpowder and such in Hell lamenting their fates and claiming to be benefactors of mankind because they caused progress. Suffice to say this is a scarce item just the thing for a Kipling collector who thinks he has everything. This copy is numbered 39 of 91 copies for private distribution -- actual numbered copies seem less common than unnumbered ones. Bound in orange boards with cloth back-strip printed in gold. The lower fore-corners show slight wear and the gilt on the spine title has faded somewhat -- otherwise this is an immaculate copy. Laid in is a small note by a previous bookseller talking about the scarcity of the item and claiming that it isn't included in any collected edition. 28 pages deckle edge nice letterpress work -- quite a nice little volume all in all and in excellent condition. tw from WFW</p> [none] hardcover
