Title: NO LONGER AT EASE
Author: Achebe, Chinua

Condition: Very good plus in very good plus jacket.
Description: London: Heinemann, 1960. Very good plus in very good plus jacket.. Scarce first edition of Achebe's second novel, set in contemporary Nigeria and following the grandson of Okonkwo, hero of THINGS FALL APART. NO LONGER AT EASE derives its title from Eliot's "Journey of the Magi" ("But no longer at ease here, in the old dispensation"), as the preceding THINGS FALL APART alludes to Yeats; in it, Achebe arranges for his protagonist a quiet, understated catastrophe of colonial pressures and corruption. Following the novel's publication and positive reception, Achebe was awarded a Rockefeller Fellowship, the first of many major awards and honors to follow. 7.25'' x 5''. Original oxblood cloth. In original unclipped (13s 6d) pictorial dust jacket by Peter Edwards. 170 pages. Ink owner name to front free endpaper. Light foxing to endpapers and edges of text block, spine lean.

White.""The reason why these Reports came out so long after the author's death, is that his papers rested till within these few years in the hands of his brother and executor, Sir T. Littleton, who kept them for his own private use, since whose decease they are now printed for public benefit; and something the more acceptable they will be to the reader in this particular, that great care has been taken in the supervision of them to leave out all Cases already extant in any of the contemporary Reports"" (""To the Reader,"" p. [iv]). ""This was not done, since many of the Cases are precisely the same as those in Hetley's Reports. One must have copied from the other, or both from some common source"" (Marvin).
