First Edition (A Sundial Edition). The glamour of the East hovers around the personality of the Beautiful Scythian, whose thirst for life and luxury in the midst of a society oozing with joie de vivre wrings the heart strings of her elderly, suspicious husband, a Russian Count who has salvaged nothing from the Revolution, save a desire for money and the preservation of his honour. The presence of young blood and wealthy tempters is the cause of intriguing situations. Her elopement with a wealthy Soviet agent and marriage a la Russe ends in speedy disaster, while her revenge is swift and startling". Shelley was a British linguist, author and translator who traveled in Imperial Russia before and during the Russian Revolution. He became a priest and in 1952 he became the third archbishop. During World War II, Shelley translated poems by Aleksandre Pushkin, Mikhail Lermontov, Boris Pasternak and Alexander Blok. Very scarce title. Near Fine in Very Good dustjacket.
