	HUMPHREYS, EMYR A Man's Estate London, The Readers Union. 1957, Book Club (BCE/BOMC). Cloth. 255pp - Humphreys is "perhaps the foremost Welsh novelist writing in English," according to the University of Wales Press, one of his current publishers. "The ghost behind my novel A MAN'S ESTATE, that was published in 1955, was Orestes, - the one who comes back and sees the old dispensation with unpitying objectivity. His story had an importance for me at the time and it was the essential thread to guide me through the dark labyrinth of other people's experience. - By now, almost fifty years later, I can see that the ghost was of greater help to the author than to the reader. I doubt whether it adds all that much to the value of the book," the author wrote in an essay at the Parthian Books (another of his current publishers) website. The covers (grey cloth with green titles to spine) are very slightly bumped at the bottom corners and very slightly edgeworn. The insides are immaculate. The DJ (in protective sleeve) is slightly edgeworn at top and bottom. Very Good +/Very Good +.
