About This Item

London: Jonathan Cape 1974. 8vo. First edition. 352 pp. Brown hardback. Top edge stained red. A few small marks to top edge. Very lightly bumped to tail of spine. Jacket intact with no tears. Slightly tanned at edges. Internally clean and bright. This is Burgsess' take on humorous historical fiction, recounting the excesses and seductions of Napoleon Bonaparte inspired by Beethoven's 'Eroica'. This novel has been described by Burgess as 'elephantine fun', nonetheless commenting on 'the tragedy of berserk ambition harnessed to total power'. A smart and presentable copy. . Near Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 1974.
