Sobre este artículo
New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1971. First edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good Indeed. 8.5" by 5.5". None. The first U.S edition of this novel by Kingsley Amis. Signed by Amis to the title page. This novel is a dissection of the flower-power phase of the 1960s. It follows the antihero, Sir Roy Vandervane, a conductor and composer who is a pillar of the establishment. Sir Roy is bewitched by a young, highborn hipppie named Sylvia and falls hard for protest, bellbottoms and the electric guitar. Sir Kingsley Amis was a popular English novelist, poet, critic and teacher. He wrote in many genres including comedy, science fiction and mystery. He was regarded as one of the finest English comic novelists of the second half of the twentieth century. Amis won many awards during his time, including the Booker Prize, which he was shortlisted for three times before finally winning in 1986. In the original cloth binding and held in original unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, smart with very little shelfwear to the head and tail of spine. Dustwrapper is smart with minor rubbing to the head and tail of spine as well as to the extremities. Light rubbing to the dustwrapper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Near Fine
