Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Alexander Raban Waugh; (Alec Waugh) was a British novelist, the elder brother of the better-known Evelyn Waugh, uncle of Auberon Waugh and son of Arthur Waugh, author, literary critic, and publisher. New York: Farrar, Straus And Company, First Edition, second printing stated; same mo…nth as the first printing "February, 1949."Inscribed in the presence of his hostess, Mrs. Robert Lehmann, as he makes an early departure from her " lovely party" and signed by Alec Waugh as 'A.W.' and dated Jan. 26, 1950 in black fountain pen. "Mr. Waugh, five years older than his late brother, Evelyn, was at one time one of the best-known younger writers in England. He wrote his first novel, ''The Loom of Youth,'' in six and a half weeks while he was in the military. It was published in 1917, when he was 19 years old and in service overseas in World War I. He spent eight months in 1918 as a German prisoner of war. He later referred to his alma mater as ''The University of Mainz,'' the name of the prison camp." ''The Loom of Youth'' was the first book to refer to homosexual relations in English public schools. It became an immediate sensation, but it also prompted the Sherborne School, which he had attended, to strike the names of Alec and his father from the alumni society, and the school refused to admit Evelyn Waugh. The two names were restored in 1933 and both of Alec Waugh's sons attended the school." The New York Times By Edwin McDowell, Sept. 4, 1981 This "Collection of Pieces Written About The West Indies Between 1928 and 1951" preceded his famous, Island in the Sun, by six years and the settings and locations were smoothly adapted for that most lucrative book; the colorful story of love, murder and political intrigue on the imaginary Caribbean island of Santa Maria, later a film starring Harry Belafonte, Dorothy Dandridge, James Mason, Joan Fontaine, and Joan Collins. 278 pp. brick colored cloth with gilt spine titles. Kit & James Reiner ex-libris. Signed by Author.
