1984168588Weston Massachusetts: M&S Press 1984. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength First edition one of 275 deluxe copies from a total edition of 330 copies specially bound by the Grey Parrot bindery. This privately printed edition presents all that survives of the preliminary draft versions of Nineteen Eight-Four a manuscript described by Sonia Orwell as "the only MS of any of George's books in existence". Orwell's classic work of dystopian fiction was begun in 1946 and composed in four stages. The extant manuscript provides the narrative of Nineteen Eighty-Four in outline from the beginning almost to the conclusion with some gaps. As noted by Peter Davison in his introduction "Despite all the rewriting revealed by this facsimile it is remarkable how closely what has survived adheres to the main sweep of the narrative of Nineteen Eighty-Four. All the principal features except the Appendix on Newspeak are present suggesting that the story had been pretty fully formed in Orwell's mind by the time he sat down to write it". In 1952 Sonia Orwell contributed "the original manuscript of Orwell's last novel partly in typescript but mainly in his own manuscript" to a charity auction at Christie's. It sold to Scribner's of New York who then arranged a sale to a collector in Kansas. Scribner's again handled the manuscript in 1969 when it was sold to Daniel G. Siegel. It is now at Brown University Library. Totalling 330 copies this edition includes two issues: 275 copies with morocco-backed marbled boards and 55 "special copies". The volume comprises a preface by Daniel G. Siegel an introduction by Davison 190 colour facsimile illustrations and a full transcript of Orwell's manuscript. Folio. 190 colour facsimile illustrations. Original blue morocco-backed marbled boards by Grey Parrot Easthampton spine lettered in gilt light grey endpapers. Housed in original grey cloth slipcase. Fine condition. Presented in original numbered cardboard carton. hardcover
