Hard cover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Edition. Signed by previous owner. On an island off western Scotland, a young Irish monk named Odo throws his granite coffin into the sea. In this miraculous craft he and his one companion, an English hunchback named Aelfric, set off over the northern seas to find adventure and to convert unbelievers. "Sometimes it is very hard to be holy," said Odo, and it requires a great deal of one's time. That is the opening line of The Saint and the Hunchback. This strange, beautiful and unclassifiable novel is a novel of ideas, yet one which is crowded with action. It is meditative and occasionally even profound, yet written wittily, humorously, clearly. Through the passionate intensity of its love scenes and of the bold combats and daring ventures, the central conflict between faith and skepticism, between the worlds of spirit and of matter, is never forgotten. Its nobility of theme and irrepressible gaiety, its memorable characters and its chiseled, lovely prose, make The Saint and the Hunchback a privilege to present. Donald Alfred Stauffer (1902 ? 1952) was an American literary critic, novelist and Professor of English who spent the majority of his career at Princeton University. He received both a Guggenheim Fellowship and Rhodes Scholarship to Merton College, Oxford, where he completed his D.Phil. degree in 1928.…
