Hardback. Condition: Very Good Plus. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. New Edition. 1970. New edition. 287pp. Lewis Grassic Gibbon is a pseudonym of James Leslie Mitchell (1901-1935), a Scottish writer who is probably best known for his 'A Scots Quair', a trilogy set in the north-east of Scotland in the early 20th century. 'Spartacus' was first published in 1933, and the central character is not Spartacus himself, but Kleon, a fictional Greek slave and eunuch who, despite occupying a privileged position in his master's household, flees to join Spartacus' rebel army. For Lewis Grassic Gibbon, a lifelong Marxist International and successful historian of early civilisations, Spartacus allowed him to focus on his fiercely held beliefs in the nature of society, the freedom of the individual, and the inevitable collapse of 'civilisation'. This edition includes an introduction by Ian S. Munro. The book is bound in the original brown boards with gold titling on the spine. The book is in excellent condition with a touch of fading at the spine ends and a shadow of an illustration on the dustwrapper near the middle of the spine. The contents are tight and clean with no inscription. The unclipped dustwrapper is very good with light shelf wear and fading to the spine.
