Savrola. First British edition, handsomely bound, of Churchill's only novel, a melodramatic tale of liberal revolution in an autocratic Mediterranean state.Savrola was the first book Churchill undertook to write and his third publication overall. "Whether they deem it a key indication of Churchill's innermost philosophy and political morality or just a yarn, Savrola continues to exert a grip on devotees of the canon" (Langworth, p. 39). Serialized in Macmillan's Magazine from May to December 1899, it was issued in book form in New York on 1 February 1900 and in Britain eleven days later.
