Sobre este artículo
London: Andre Deutsch , 1966. First edition. Fine Binding. Fine. 8" by 5". None. A finely bound, first edition copy of Jack Kerouac's semi-autobiographical novel 'Desolation Angels'. This copy has been beautifully bound by the Cottage Bindery of Bath, with their binder's stamp to the front pastedown. This copy is in a full morocco binding with a hand-painted front panel. With a clamshell box which has a morocco label.'Desolation Angels' is a part of Jack Kerouac's Dulouz Legend. Although the publication date is 1965, Kerouac actually wrote the manuscript around the time 'On the Road' was in the process of publication. The novel was formed directly from his journal that he kept whilst being a fire lookout on Desolation Peak in the North Cascade Mountains of Washington state. It is told through the voice of Kerouac's fictional self, Jack Duluoz. A beautiful copy of this classic novel. In a full crushed morocco hand painted binding by the Cottage Bindery. Externally, fine. With a custom clamshell box which is also fine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright. Occasional spots to the fore-edge not affecting pages. Fine
Sinopsis
Duluoz's desperate travels continue in Desolation Angels , a Jack Kerouac semi-autobiography that was written in the late fifties but not published until 1965. This story has a pervasive melancholia as Duluoz struggles with his fascination of the Buddhist religion.
