Sobre este artículo
NY: World, 1969. Bound in full yellow cloth stamped in brown with an illustration of a noble Flashman on the front panel. This is a tight, clean presumably unread copy. The only flaw is a small sticker residue on the front pastedown partially hidden by the dust jacket. The first U.S. edition of the first book in the Flashman series. A bit difficult to locate in this protected condition. 255 pp. . First American Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good ++/Near Fine.
Sinopsis
The first instalment of the Flashman Papers sees the fag-roasting rotter from Tom Brown's Schooldays commence his military career as a reluctant secret agent in Afghanistan. Expelled from Rugby for drunkenness, and none too welcome at home after seducing his father's mistress, the young Flashman embarks on a military career with Lord Cardigan's Hussars. En route to Afghanistan, our hero hones his skills as a soldier, duellist, imposter, coward and amorist (mastering all 97 ways of Hindu love-making during a brief sojourn in Calcutta), before being pressed into reluctant service as a secret agent. His Afghan adventures culminate in a starring role in that great historic disaster, the Retreat from Kabul.
