Book Description: Hamish Hamilton, London, 2000. Hard Cover. Book Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. 1st printing of the first British hardcover edition SIGNED by Kneale on the title page. A square and tight copy with sharp corners, and the jacket is crisp and price intact. English Passengers is an historical novel which won the Whitbread Book Award and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. It is narrated by 20 different characters and tells the story of a voyage to look for the Garden of Eden and the rapid decline of an island’s indigenous population. In 1857, after their attempts to smuggle contraband goods land them with a heavy fine from the British Customs, Captain Illiam Quillian Kewley and his crew of Manx sailors are forced to offer their ship for charter. The vessel is quickly hired by a party of Englishmen led by an eccentric Vicar, the Reverend Geoffrey Wilson, who believes that the Garden of Eden is located in Tasmania and wants to mount an expedition to find it. However, unbeknownst to the clergyman, one of his fellow travellers has an entirely different reason for journeying to the island. Dr. Thomas Potter is a renowned surgeon who is developing a thesis on the races of man and hopes to find some interesting specimens there. Running parallel with this story, but starting some 30 or so years earlier, are the recollections of Peevay, one of Tasmania's natives, who describes the devastating impact the white settlers had on his people, and the aborigines' struggle to adapt to the cultural changes which were forced on them.

Book Description: London, England: Hamish Hamilton. Hardcover. Book Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 462 pages. Published in 2000. The author's fourth novel. One of the most important literary events of the new century, the book is destined to be a contemporary classic. The true First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Presents the story of a shipping expedition in 1857 to find the Garden of Eden, which the passengers believe is in the island of Tasmania. The riveting tale is told from the points-of-view of twenty different characters, "each so distinct that the effect is of a story not so much told as peopled" (Publisher's blurb). "I am hugely impressed. The construction is masterly, multiple voices contributing to a compelling narrative. This is writing of the first order" (Penelope Lively). A masterpiece, this is a "must-have" title for Matthew Kneale collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black fountain pen on the title page by Matthew Kneale. This is an Import title, was not commercially sold in the United States, and has been out-of-print as a hardcover for a long time even though it went into multiple subsequent printings. This is one of surprisingly very few signed copies of the true First Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A very scarce signed copy thus. Winner of the Somerset Maugham Award in 1987 for "Whore Banquets". Winner of the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize in 1992 for "Sweet Thames". Selected as Whitbread Book of the Year and shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2000 for "English Passengers". One of the finest living writers. A fine copy.
