First Edition/First Printing of Hazlitt's great novel, originally published as "The Great Idea" by Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1951 (New York, NY). In Time Will Run Back, Hazlitt envisions a future in which the communists won and have been in power for more than 100 years. All traces and artifacts of the ancient capitalist world have been wiped out. Hazlitt himself acknowledged his novel bears some similarities to 1984 (published two years earlier, which he hadn't read). He explained that authors like Orwell, Aldous Huxley (and his Brave New World) and he were: "plagiarizing from the actual nightmare created by Lenin, Hitler and Stalin….All the writers had done was to add a few logical extensions not yet generally foreseen." Toning to endpapers in very scarce complete unclipped jacket with small chips to edgewear. Book #vC2334. $295. We specialize in rare Ayn Rand and other legends and landmarks.
