About This Item
Moderate toning, and many neat, notes, of the time, but clean. Name inscribed FTP. Still strong & interesting with all the amusing remarks. Translated from French By Stuart Gilbert.
Kirkus Review: A strange interlude, in the first person, in which a young man, nameless and emotionless, tells of the circumstances which led ironically, implacably to his death. Living in Algiers in a rooming house, he is called away for the funeral of his mother, in the home for the aged where he had placed her. Untouched by her death, he returns home, to Marie, his girl, and to the involvement with Raymond, a fellow roomer, and the shooting of an Arab native in Raymond's defense, Months of imprisonment, inaction, finally the trial which leads to the death sentence, not for the crime, but for the character condemnation by witnesses for his indifference to his mother's death. For all its impervious detachment, this has a certain odd fascination, though its market will be limited. Insurance & handling is included free. Extra Charges/Fees apply on Shipments Outside The U.S. and Expedited Shipments. Oversize and/or heavy books may require additional fees. Will advise.
