Book description: London: Chatto & Windus. Very Good+/Very Good+. 1967. First Edition. Hardback. This is a most unusual first novel. Isaak van Veldt, a giant of a man, has killed his sweetheart in Antwerp. He escapes from the city and flees to North Wales. Here, on a mountainside, he begins a new life. But things begin to go wrong, and eventually, with the next generation, tradedy returns. But as the wheel comes full circle, Isaak's regeneration is completed. The story balances Isaak's amost mystical feelings about the girl in Antwerp with the workaday detail of his struggle as a hill farmer. The Snowdon country is described with a sensuous vividness which makes it a superb background for this story of a man seeking to find and fulfil his destiny. Dust-jacket has minor rubbing to corners and top/bottom of spine all reinforced with archival tape; jacket is in loose protective cover. A nice copy in Very Good+ condition in a Very Good+ dust-jacket. .
