Aus dem Vorbesitz des libertären Dokumentaristen Hans-Dieter Heilmann. Leicht vergilbt, sonst sehr guter Zustand. Mit Zettel- und Zeitungsbeilage des Vorbesitzers. - Als die New Yorkerin Helene Hanff Anfang der siebziger Jahre nach London kommt, um ihr Buch 84, Charing Cross Road vorzustellen, geht für sie ein lang gehegter Wunsch in Erfüllung. Die Schriftstellerin ist überwältigt von der Weltstadt, die sie nur aus Büchern und aus den Beschreibungen ihres langjährigen Brieffreundes, des Antiquars Frank Doel. kennt. Noch überwältigter ist sie jedoch von ihren englischen Fans. Für einige Wochen wird die unscheinbare, bescheidene New Yorkerin zum gefeierten Star. Zwar tritt sie zuweilen treffsicher in die unterschiedlichsten Fettnäpfe, macht mit ihrem unvergleichlichen Charme aber alles wieder wett. Im Land von Shakespeare, Dickens, John Donne und anderen ihrer geliebten Literaten wird sie wenn auch nur vorübergehend - zur Herzogin geadelt. Hanflfs scharfsinniges und selbstironisches Tagebuch ist eine hinreißende Liebeserklärung an London und Englands brillante Köpfe. ISBN 9783455026511

pp. 325 + Eight full page lithographed satirical plates by August Hervieu, who accompanied Mrs. Trollope on her American tour. Foxed. Worn contemporary full cloth binding. "Landing at New Orleans in late December, 1827, she went almost immediately up the river to Memphis and thence to Louisville and Cincinnati, reaching the latter place about February 10, 1828. At Memphis she tarried a few days and went to visit Francis Wright's near-by Nashoba Community, which oppressed her with its unfinished buildings and primitive surroundings. After leaving Cincinnati, the scene of her most violent tirades against the United States, she passed the summer of 1830 in Maryland. Here she observed slavery, especially among the small landed proprietors, and found the slaves not badly treated, although she believed the essence of the system to be bad" - Clark 112. She also visited Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Washington, and New York. "A minor classic of looking down one's nose" - Streeter 845. Her book became an instant best seller. Her attacks on the Americans assured that the book would be an object of great controversy, and would sell on both sides of the Atlantic. Nevins calls it "the most prejudiced and hotly discussed of all British books of travel in the United States." Sabin 97028; Howes T35; Robinson p. 197. FIRST U.S. EDITION. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W147
