About This Item
New York: Pantheon., 1957 Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st.US Ed... The story of a splendidly handsome young Greek, Spiro, and of the three people he brought to ruin. He is picked up out of the gutter, fed, housed and educated by an American idealist, Irvine who is rich, complex, over-educated, a devout Catholic struggling against his instincts. Spiro, by contrast is completely cynical and amoral. All he wants now is an easy life with sensual pleasures, and he goes about getting what he wants with the sureness and ruthlessness of an animal. He brings about the downfall of his benefactor and the death of an Englishwoman who cannot resist the startling beauty of the Greek god.Finally he destroys even the young Greek girl whom he married for her money.248P. Tiny tear in dj, else fine.
