Reseña del editor:

The intimate journals of Logan Mountstuart--author, spy, and man of the world--chronicle his eight-five years of life, from his boyhood in Montevideo, Uruguay, to his education at Oxford and the publication of his first book, to his wartime exploits as an agent for Naval Intelligence, to his career as an art dealer, to his serene retirement in France. 30,000 first printing.
