Silence

Shusaku Endo

TRANSLATED FROM THE JAPANESE BY WILLIAM JOHNSTON

First British Commonwealth edition, 1976

This edition is in very good condition. There is evidence of slight yellowing on and around the spine, as well as a small, barely noticeble ink mark on the front. Otherwise, the dust jacket is pristine with no blemishes. With the exception of the tips of a few central pages, which have been dog-eared, the book itself has been beautifully preserved, with no signs of marking or discolouring.

Machado de Assis

TRANSLATED FROM THE PORTUGUESE BY R. L. SCOTT-BUCCLEUCH

First British Commonwealth edition, 1976, Jacket designed by Keith Cunningham

This book is in very good condition. Other than a small tear and crease mark at the top of the dust jacket's front, and a few early pages with slightly loose binding, there is little to suggest that the book is over thirty years old.
