Sobre este artículo
Peter Owen, London, 1970. First edition. Condition: Near fine in very good dust jacket. Book has very light bumping at corners. Dust jacket has light edge wear and nicks, spine has light creasing, light soiling on rear cover, price clipped.
The extraordinary and much-requested first volume of Cendrars' autobiography, this account chronicles the author's exploits in the Foreign Legion—including the loss of his arm—before the narrative sets off across continents. From Africa to South America, Cendrars encounters everyone from Gallic gipsies to Piquita, the Mexican millionairess. And to all his encounters he brings the vitality, savage humor, and vivid observation that characterize his dazzling writing.
