About This Item
Boston:: Houghton Mifflin,, 1970.. Hardcover first edition -. Very near fine in a very good dustjacket (short tear to upper edge of front cover of dj, some wear to corners) . First US printing. A fictionalized autobiography, depicting life in Europe in the first half of the 20th century, the first in a series of novels that follow the fortunes of a Neapolitan nobleman, the narrator, born around the turn of the century. A NY Times review notes that this has "a remarkable sense of period. The rebel lion against society of the 1920's pervades the book. Giovene. . gives us an authentic if rather mysterious sensation of the counter culture of 50 years ago. With its oddities, its obsession with the occult, it awakens an eerie feeling of the present as deja vu." Translated from the Italian by Marguerite Waldman. 384 pp.
