Inhaltsangabe
The Polyglots is the story of an eccentric Belgian family living in the Far East in the uncertain years after World War I and the Russian Revolution. The tale is recounted by their dryly conceited young English relative, Captain Georges Hamlet Alexander Diabologh, who comes to stay with them during a military mission. Teeming with bizarre characters&;depressives, obsessives, paranoiacs, hypochondriacs, and sex maniacs&;Gerhardie paints a brilliantly absurd world where the comic and the tragic are profoundly and irrevocably entwined.

paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Artikel-Nr. mon0000001566

The Polyglots: [a novel]. With a preface by Michael Holroyd. (Prion Lost Treasures)
Anbieter: James Fergusson Books & Manuscripts, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Wrappers. Spine slightly faded. New edition (novel first published by Cobden-Sanderson, 1925), from the library of Sir Michael Holroyd. Gerhardie completed the book, writes Holroyd, "under difficult conditions, while his father was dying. His mother would read out pages from the manuscript to the old man 'to kill time', and for the most part he listened uncomplainingly and without comment, though occasionally pronouncing some passage to be 'instructive'. But when she came to the sea-burial of Natasha - a scene of exquisite visual simplicity - she began to cry, and this bothered him. 'Don't cry,' he urged her. 'It's not real. It's only a book. Willy has invented it.' On The Polyglots were pinned all their hopes of re-making the family fortune, but Gerhardie's father died a few months before publication. The book did make Gerhardie's name as a novelist; but as to the fortune, he later calculated that, contrary to expectation, it had brought in 'something equivalent, in terms of royalties, to nothing'.".
