1925 · London
by Wells, H.G.
London: Jonathan Cape, 1925. First Edition. Octavo. 410 pages. Wells began writing in what scholars call the fourth dimension though not in the science-fiction genre. Here Christina moves against her father's spiritualism to a rationalism overtaken by an amoral sense as her skepticism overtakes the imagination governed by the fantastic. A fine copy bound in red cloth, spine lettering gilt, bookshop's ticket to rear pastedown, in unclipped pictorial dust jacket with minor light chipping to spine ends, short closed edge tear to rear panel and a bit of toning. Very nice.
