A Burnt-Out Case, novel by Graham Greene, The Viking Press, Inc. 1961, HB DJ

Description: For Sale: A Burnt-Out Case, a novel by Graham Greene, The Viking Press, Inc. 1961. A book-of-the-month club selection. Folded in pages of book is a Bookmark with a report by Clifton Fadiman about Graham Greene and A Burnt-Out Case. This is a previously owned book with dust jacket in good condition, but has discoloration and spotting. The inner pages are clean and tight with no writing or markings. See photos. Taken from dust jacket: The remotest place, that was what Querry was looking for. And he found it-on the upper reaches of a minor tributary of the Congo, "where neither the road nor the river goes any further." The place was leproserie, run by priests and nuns, and one doctor as lacking in faith as Querry himself. There his flight ended, a flight from fame and from something else, which he could not quite define. Whatever that was, it prevented suffering and cut him off from every human feeling. I have hundreds of books that have been handed down through generations, plus more recent books. Some are in great condition, some showing much use and some damage. A lot of the books came from homes, bay houses, or beach houses along the Gulf Coast, back before air conditioning, where there is high humidity and severe weather at times. Especially some of the older books from the early 1900's. We were taught that books are very valuable and should never be destroyed as long as they are still readable.
