Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Stated First Edition. You can see the covers in the photographs. The gilt lettering on the front is quite bright. The covers are very clean (the dark areas in the photographs are part of the book's normal coloration). The spine does have a little bit of creasing. The book is very sol…idly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout, and nicely tight covers as well. The pages are all very clean and bright. I'm not seeing any soiling. I'm not seeing any creasing. There are no marking. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else in the book. Printed by Suverna, Sardar Estate, Ajwa Road, 2005. Hardcover. Written by Umashankar Joshi. Translated into English by Sudarshan V. Desai. Stated First Edition. Here is a rather rare book. In fact I didn't see another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. Umashankar Jethalal Joshi (Gujarati: ઉમાશંકર જોશી) (21 July 1911 - 19 December 1988) was an eminent poet, scholar and writer. He received the Jnanpith Award in 1967 for his contribution to Indian, especially Gujarati literature. Please take a look at the photographs. This book, published in 2005, is in Very Good condition. The gilt lettering on the front is quite bright. The covers are very clean (the dark areas in the photographs are part of the book's normal coloration). The book is in very solid shape, solidly bound throughout. The spine does have a little bit of creasing. The pages of the book are white and bright. I don't see any soiling. There isn't any writing/underlining anywhere in the book. There are no markings. No creases. There is a Foreword by Svati Joshi, the son of the poet. That is followed by a seven-page autobiography titled Umashankar In His Own Words. And before the poems begin there are several pages written by the translator. Umashankar Joshi was also an activist. He joined the freedom struggle led by Gandhi and gained an understanding of history in his youth. In 1929, he joined the struggle by participating in the 34-day strike called by the students of Gujarat College. In 1930, he took an active part in the Freedom Struggle and joined Viramgam Camp as a satyagrahi. After that, he was imprisoned for fourteen weeks in Sabarmati jail and tent-jail at Yerwada. Then in 1931, he attended the National Conference of Congress at Karachi and stayed at Gujarat Vidyapith. He was Imprisoned for the second time for eight months, at Sabarmati and Visapur jails in 1932.
