Description: GREENE, GrahamBrighton Rock; first edition published by William Heinemann Ltd. in 1938. First printing. Description Brighton Rock is a work of serious and complex meaning which also went on reach cult status; its UK publication is one the most desirable firsts of 20th century literature.One of the moral dilemas Greene lays out for the reader is what place has, a creature as heartless as its protagonist, Pinkie, within God's infinite mercy.In original red cloth, unfaded and gilt lettering to spine remains bright. A superficial cut just visible to the head of the spine. Pages have slight toning of the paper, otherwise very clean and without inscriptions. Very good indeed. Publisher’s original blind stamped mark present, denoting first. Very good indeed or better.
