"Mais où sont les neiges d'antan?" ~ "Villon, as it seems to me, attained at once the very high place he took, has increased in the scale of European letters, stands higher now even than he did in the height of the Romantic movement, and will in the future (if we retain our culture~which is a big "If") appear as one of the very few unquestioned permanent summits in Western letters, through the quality of hardness." ~Hilaire Belloc.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. LEWIS, Wyndham [377] pp. Methuen & Co. Ltd. 1952 7 3/8" x 5 1/4" Jacket design by Charles Handley-Read Published in the shadow of the Spanish Civil War, The Revenge for Love is a political thriller attacking the fraudulence and feeble-mindedness of life in the Britain of the 1930s. A brilliant satire on a world that has lost its sense of self and been seduced by the appeal of Communism, it is one of a handful of books (it could be compared to Orwell's Coming Up for Air or Koestler's Darkness at Noon) which defined a particular mood and to today's audience gives an unparalleled sense of how Europe turned toxic on the eve of the Second World War.
