Journey Without Maps
Heinemann, 1936.
First edition. Original yellow cloth with brown lettering. A very good copy indeed in a very good dustwrapper, with some tanning to the spine, light chipping to the spine ends and an invisibly repaired closed tear to the rear joint.
Greene's first travel book, an account of a 350 mile walk through Liberia. The title of the book comes from the fact that the interior of Liberia was unmapped at the time and Greene had to rely on native guides and porters.
At the time of the journey Greene had written four novels of modest commercial success and was starting to doubt he could make a living as a writer. His publisher's clearly shared his pessimism, and the book was published in very small numbers and is now among Greene's rarest major works.
