About This Item
London: Hollis & Carter Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. (1954). First edition, viii, 191pp, bookplate at front, else VG in good DJ, lightly sunned, and with a few small tears. From the DJ: "Senor De Madariaga is well-known as the enemy of complacent and slipshod thinking: with apparently effortless ease, he will set up a premise, knock it down, tear it to pieces-and then lovingly restore it to its pedestal in a new shape or poised at a new angle. In this present book of essays, he applies his powers of reasoning and wit to a wide variety of subjects, all of which are a frequent topic of modern day discussion.".
