Beschreibung

Author's fifth book. ***Near fine in blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine. Faint off-setting to fep. No inscriptions. ***In a near fine dustwrapper, not price-clipped, showing original publisher's price of 12'6 nett. Dustwrapper slightly creased at extremities with tiny closed tears, nicks and rubbing. Back panel slightly discoloured and scuffed - being a white background. No large tears or chips. Front cover bright, not faded. Spine bright, not faded. Part of original wraparound review band loosely inserted (see picture). 190mm x 128 mm. 323 printed pages. ***'After all the sex, crime, degeneracy, millions, and general excitement provided by 'Written on the Wind' it would be churlish to ask for anything more --- packed with punch, it provides thrilling action. This lush and immensely readable novel is fiction with a capital F.' [New York Times] ***'Spell-binder' [Boston Globe] (Quotes taken from jacket blurb). ***This novel was filmed under the same name in 1956 and starred Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall, Robert Stack and Dorothy Malone. ***'This is not a novel for readers with weak nerves. It is the story of the decay of a great American family, the offspring of a Virginia tobacco king and multi-millionaire, who are turned into cranks, ne'er-do-wells, and a fourteen year old nymphmaniac to boot, and whose story ends sadly after two suicides, a murder, and the doom of an otherwise charming love affair. But with all that, it is one of the most brilliant, hot-blooded, and in the deeper meaning, true, and truly great, novels of our time.' [Quote taken from jacket blurb] ***Scarce first UK edition especially in the original dustwrapper preserved in such nice condition with no chips or fading. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.***.
