Savrola. A Tale of the Revolution in Laurania. -
Sir Winston Spencer Churchill
1900 - Longmans, London - First English Edition
A clean, crisp copy in a beautiful recent leather binding.
Written when Churchill was 23 and first appearing in serial form in ‘Macmillan's Magazine’, Savrola was Churchill's only novel. It embodies his personal philosophy on life, which was to govern his later military and political career.
‘For those who know of his later exploits, it provides an amazing foreshadowing of events in his own life. Though the plot is sometimes clumsy, there are flashes of poignancy in his prose that are deeply insightful for a man of his age.’

A History of the English-Speaking Peoples -
Sir Winston Spencer Churchill
1956 1958 - Cassell and Company Ltd, London - First Editions
‘The flash and dash of Churchill's zest will render these four volumes readable, humane, exhilarating, memorable and exemplary, few historians, moreover, have been gifted with a style of equal subtlety and vigour, a style at once classical and romantic, precise and imaginative, tolerant yet gently ironical, deeply sensitive to the tragedy of human failure and scornful only of those who are faithless to the virtue within them. These four volumes leave us with enhanced admiration for human character, and an added compassion for human fallibility. They are the legacy of a man of superhuman energy, great intellectual powers and utmost simplicity of soul.’ - Harold Nicolson, New York Times Book Review, 1958.
A finely bound four volume set published shortly after Sir Winston Churchill was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. This is the author's last great work, only available some twenty years after he wrote the first draft, which then lay dormant whilst he attended to National and Parliamentary matters.
