Synopsis
In 1948, at the age of 18, V.S. Naipaul left home on a scholarship furnished by the government of Trinidad. Following his first airplane ride, and a two-week journey by steamer, he found himself in Oxford, England, a world that could not have been more unlike the one he longed to escape, the one to which he would never really return.This startling collection of letters between the young Naipaul and his family, written while he was up at Oxford, allow us, as nothing previously published has, to enter the intimacy of his formative years. It is a moving story of family members oceans apart, clinging to one another against the sadness of dislocation and isolation: the young Naipaul, desperate not for a degree but to become a writer; his beloved sister Kamla, anxious and bewildered, away at school in India; and his melancholy father, the seeds of whose thwarted aspirations as a writer would bear fruit in the singular achievement of his son. Of him, Naipaul would write, "what we are, he has made us."Alongside this poignant family drama is the tale of a young man out in the world, seeing London and Paris, longing for love, for success and recognition, suffering material want of his own, powerless to assuage that of his loved ones. And it is also the story of one writer's beginnings, ending triumphantly with the publication of his first novel, as we witness the flowering of one of the great literary geniuses of the century.

- 2***0 (126)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoShipping was quick, packaging was excellent, condition was acceptable as described -- binding loose but pages intact. I did message buyer asking about mold and didn't receive a reply -- luckily, there appears to be no mold. Great value for a 100+ yr old book!
- a***p (8)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoI received my book in absolutely pristine condition, better than described! Which is impressive because the copy is from 1930 and it looks like it has never been handled. It shipped very quickly, even faster than the estimated time given by a week. It was packaged very carefully. The book and shipping price was also very fair considering the age and condition of the book and the shipping speed. I am very pleased with this seller and will be ordering from them again in the future.
- 5***8 (18)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoI am always a little nervous when ordering books off of eBay but this seller has provided me with an EXCELLENT purchasing experience! The packaging was superior and I am grateful because this is a signed first edition and we all know how the post office can be at times. The Shipping was timely and the item actually arrived quicker than expected. The item EXCEEDED the description. It is stunning. I have dropped it off at my antiquarian for authors signature verification but the value is high.What Negro Wants by Rayford W Logan 1944 (HC/DJ) (N° 335500668720)
