New York, NY Vintage 1979 Trade paperback Very good. Signed by author. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 432 p. Audience: General/trade. Vintage Books, New York, 1979. First paperback edition of the author's most influential work which has been translated into over 35 languages. Signed and inscribed by Edward Said. Very Good condition. In this highly-acclaimed work, Edward Said surveys the history and nature of Western attitudes towards the East, considering orientalism as a powerful European ideological creation-a way for writers, philosophers and colonial administrators to deal with the 'otherness' of eastern culture, customs and beliefs. He traces this view through the writings of Homer, Nerval and Flaubert, Disraeli and Kipling, whose imaginative depictions have greatly contributed to the West's romantic and exotic picture of the Orient. "Very exciting. his case is not merely persuasive, but conclusive" (John Leonard, New York Times). SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.
