Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Very Good dj. First Edition Thus. [a nice clean copy, slight deterioration to cloth at spine ends and slight fading at top of spine (matching the shallow chip in the jacket), small bookseller's rubber stamp on front pastedown (Bertrand Smith's Acres of Books, Long Beach, California); the jacket is lightly rubbed, worn through (or insect-nibbled-through) at a number of tiny spots along both flapfolds, and with the aforementioned shallow chip at the top of the spine, but all in all still attractive]. (photographic endpapers) "The story of a man, his wife and his mistress," this edition a tie-in with the 1932 Samuel Goldwyn production, directed by King Vidor and starring Ronald Colman and Kay Francis. Unlike most earlier, silent-era Photoplay Editions, in which stills from the film were bound into the text, this early-talkie issue (no doubt reflective of the publisher's Depression economizing) confines its illustrations to a montage of scenes from the movie printed on the endpapers (there are at least different selections of photos in the front and rear of the book)]. The novel was originally published in England in 1928 (and in the U.S. by Doubleday, Doran, in 1929) under the title "The Imperfect Lover," and had been adapted for the stage (as "Cynara") in 1930. (It would appear, too, that the author's name, properly speaking, should be hyphenated -- Gore-Browne -- but maybe G&D was trying to economize on punctuation, as well.).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Cynara: Photoplay Title of an Imperfect Lover' is a poignant and dramatic exploration of fidelity, guilt, and the social mores of early 20th-century Britain. Written by Robert Gore-Browne, the novel delves into the life of Jim Warlock, a successful and respected London barrister whose stable existence is upended during his wife's absence. What begins as a seemingly fleeting indiscretion with a young shopgirl, Doris Lea, soon spirals into a tragic entanglement that threatens to destroy his marriage, his reputation, and his sense of self.The narrative masterfully captures the tension between private desires and public duty, examining the heavy cost of a momentary lapse in judgment. Taking its title from Ernest Dowson's famous poem-specifically the refrain 'I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion'-the work serves as a haunting meditation on the complexities of love and the permanence of consequence. Gore-Browne's prose offers a sharp critique of the rigid class structures and moral expectations of the era, providing a psychological portrait of a man caught between two worlds. This compelling story of a 'well-meaning' man's downfall remains a significant example of early modern social drama, having achieved further fame through its successful adaptations for both the stage and the silver screen.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
