Complete Nevil Shute 23-Volume Uniform Edition – 1960s Heinemann Oxblood Gilt Library Collection

Shute, an aeronautical engineer turned bestselling novelist, wrote some of the 20th century’s most enduring stories of wartime resilience, quiet heroism and post-war reinvention. His background in early British aviation gave his fiction remarkable authenticity, while later life in Australia shaped many of his most beloved works.
