This well-preserved copy of Iris Murdoch’s 1970 novel “A Fairly Honourable Defeat” offers a fascinating glimpse into the renowned British author’s exploration of human relationships and moral dilemmas. Murdoch, a philosopher as well as a novelist, was deeply influenced by existentialist thought and her works often grapple with themes of freedom, responsibility, and the complexities of love. In this particular novel, set against the backdrop of 1960s London, Murdoch delves into the tangled web of desire, betrayal, and self-deception that unfolds when a married couple becomes involved with a younger couple. With her characteristic psychological depth and rich, nuanced prose, Murdoch crafts a compelling narrative that challenges readers to confront their own moral convictions. This edition, published by Fawcett Crest, offers collectors and readers alike the opportunity to immerse themselves in one of Murdoch’s most celebrated works, a novel that solidified her reputation as a literary giant of the 20th century.
