ppint. 18 hours ago		first published year is^W was still wrong and should^W has been corrected to 1958



ppint. 9th Jan 2025		doubleday h/cvr first printing, first edition (liable to be so stated, but i've not checked this)



ppint. 7 hours ago		Rated 9/10 this is the edition yr hmbl srppnt. first read - in 1967 - it kept the teenage me up all night reading it in one go - and yes, it was written to be a work of propaganda° and an educational work†, as well as a thunderingly fine, truly gripping novel. i have read it again since - a couple of times, over the decades. yr hmbl srppnt. does *not* like leon uris' altering some parts of known & fully-documented historical events, such as the children & crew of the blockade-running ship were in fact returned by the british authorities to a/ displaced persons' camp/s in europe: i can appreciate he did this to improve the novel as a work of fiction, "but..."; however, his portrayal of racist characters and the language these characters use does not make this a work advocating racism nor racist behaviour: such criticism is ill-founded, no matter how sincere. "exodus" remains a major novel, a gripping "must-read" - and one that does not excuse nor justify violence & murder by anyone at all - including by modern israelis possessed of racist opinions & beliefs. - not that all by any means are (clarifying to forestall charges...). ° - promoting several causes, not simply zionism (in the sense of arguing for both the movement to further creation of a modern jewish state, historically, and supporting its continued existence) † - detailing much of the history of jewish people, and of judaism, through snapshots and more extended chapters in characters' lives, as well as enlightening people about the existence of the holocaust that the nazi regime had inflicted upon so many millions including many of the peoples of eastern europe, and upon homosexual men, and upon others - but so overwhelmingly against the jewish population of europe (and anyone "tainted" with "jewish blood") - about which many people - and most people in the usa - were totally ignorant.

ppint. 22 hours ago		this corgi p/b edition saw many reprints, with rising cover price(s); it initially bears an sbn on the spine and in the indicia, but not an isbn: 552 08384-4 the sbn was retained through the reprint i'm currently holding, which is stated to be the bantam and corgi books twenty-sixth printing: it is highly unlikely that it was both publisher's twenty-sixth printing, a) as it is a corgi book, and nowhere else bears the bantam (or bantam books) name, and b) as there's no reason to imagine that their new editions - and reprints thereof - kept in step with one another. more details from the various corgi books uk p/b editions' & printing's indicias will be needed before this can be sorted out - and likewise for the merkin bantam books mmpb editions & printings.
