Beschreibung

Pages tanned, jacket a little worn at the edges, price clipped. From the opening scenes in Charley's Bar in Brussels, the reader is involved in the lives of the small circle of people who are responsible between them for the slow corruption of an innocence. Vladimir, the exile, who should have had the authority to give advice; the faintly bogus Prince Monneret; Yvette's dying mother and her aunt, the invidious Madame Bocquere; the elegant and unpredictable Jonathan; Peter, whose very simplicity implicated him; the narrator, Yvette's lover, whose moral cowardice was perhaps the biggest single factor; and poor sweet Yvette herself, was she entirely blameless? From the start it is clear that there will be no easy way out and the author does not offer us one. His conclusion, one realises finally, is inevitable and ruthlessly true to life.
