Paperback. Condition: New. Alexander Aitken was an ordinary soldier with an extraordinary mind. The student who enlisted in 1915 was a mathematical genius who could multiply nine-digit numbers in his head. He took a violin with him to Gallipoli (where field telephone wire substituted for an E-string) and practiced Bach on the Western Front. Aitken also loved poetry and knew the Aeneid and Paradise Lost by heart. His powers of memory were dazzling. When a vital roll-book was lost with the dead, he was able to dictate the full name, regimental number, next of kin and address of next of kin for every member of his former platoon-a total of fifty-six men. Everything he saw, he could remember. Aitken began to write about his experiences in 1917 as a wounded out-patient in Dunedin Hospital. Every few years, when the war trauma caught up with him, he revisited the manuscript, which was eventually published as Gallipoli to the Somme in 1963. Aitken writes with a unique combination of restraint, subtlety, and an almost photographic vividness. He was elected fellow of the Royal Society of Literature on the strength of this single work-a book recognised by its first reviewers as a literary memoir of the Great War to put alongside those by Graves, Blunden and Sassoon.Long out of print, this is by some distance the most perceptive memoir of the First World War by a New Zealand soldier. For this edition, Alex Calder has written a new introduction, annotated the text, compiled a selection of images, and added a commemorative index identifying the soldiers with whom Aitken served.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. New Zealand: land of mountains, sheep, and the faint suspicion that identity might need a bit of careful editing. The Writing of New Zealand: Inventions and Identities by Alex Calder is not a travel guide, nor a collection of picturesque anecdotes about hobbits (though it predates them becoming a national export). Instead, it is a thoughtful, quietly probing exploration of how a country writes itself into existence?on the page, in the imagination, and occasionally in ways that don?t quite agree with each other. Calder examines the literature and cultural narratives that have shaped New Zealand?s sense of self, asking that deceptively simple question: who gets to define a nation? The answers, unsurprisingly, are layered. Colonial voices, indigenous perspectives, imported traditions, and local reinventions all jostle for space, producing a literary landscape that is as complex as it is politely understated. There is a gentle irony running through it all. Nations like to think they are discovered, founded, or declared. Calder suggests they are also written?drafted, revised, argued over, and occasionally footnoted into coherence. Identity, in this view, is less a fixed point and more a well-edited manuscript with several competing authors. It?s the sort of book that rewards readers who enjoy literary criticism with a cultural edge. You won?t find dramatic plot twists, but you will find ideas that quietly rearrange how you think about place, history, and storytelling. It?s clever without being showy, academic without being impenetrable, and thoughtful in a way that lingers. This good copy, as sold by Crappy Old Books, arrives with just enough wear to suggest it has already participated in a few identity debates of its own. Ideal for readers who like their nations examined, their literature questioned, and their certainties gently unpicked.…
