Beschreibung

Probable American First Edition (NAP). This book is square and straight, tight and very solidly bound. This despite the fact that it runs 512 pages. You can see the covers in the photographs I've provided. They are in very good condition, with only very little wear and soiling. The pages of the book are in excellent condition. No one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. The pages are very clean. Scrolling through, I didn't see any soiling. I saw one very tiny tear off the bottom edge of one page, and a tiny nick at the bottom edge of a few other consecutive pages. I didn't see any creasing or dogeared corners. There aren't any markings or attachments. The dust jacket was already fitted into a protective cover when I purchased it some years ago. You can see the jacket in the first three photographs. It's mostly quite clean, taking into account its white background. You can see some smooth scuffing on the front, also a little bit on the spine. There are edge tears off the top of the spine and a little bit of loss at the bottom, not reaching the publisher's name. There's also a tear off the top edge of the back. The flaps are in very nice condition, though there a couple of very tiny tears off the top edge of the rear flap and there is a very, very tiny loss off the bottom corner of the front flap. The dust jacket is NOT price-clipped. From the front flap 'This extraordinary and brilliant novel was the cause of a great furor and controversy when it was first published in France where it became an overnight best-seller. It was praised and dammed on all sides, and certain members of the French branch of the Rothschilds went so far as to bring a court action against the book. But there is more to it than the sensationalism; more even than entertainment and an impressive mine of carefully gathered information. It is a metaphor of the eternal minority, a serious development of the collected aspects of a much discussed problem: anti-Semitism. The thoroughness of Peyrefitte's assault on racism is unequaled in fiction. His prose is an example of how the acrobatic French wit can juggle ironies with infinite variety and virtuosity.'.
