To the title page is written 'To Eileen Albion, with fond memories of Desmond the best boss I ever had - and all good wishes Sebastian Faulks'. 'Human Traces' took Faulks five years to write. It follows two friends who set up a pioneering asylum in 19th century Austria, in tandem with the evolution of psychiatry and the start of the First World War. Sebastian Faulks is best known for his novels 'Birdsong' and 'Charlotte Gray'. A fine copy of this novel. In the publisher's original cloth binding. With original unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, excellent with minor shelfwear. Dustwrapper is very smart. With minor tape repairs to the head and tail of spines internally. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Fine
Sinopsis
Sebastian Faulks's bestselling new novel. As young boys both Jacques Rebiere and Thomas Midwinter become fascinated with trying to understand the human mind.As psychiatrists, their quest takes them from the squalor of the Victorian lunatic asylum to the crowded lecture halls of the renowned Professor Charcot in Paris; from the heights of the Sierra Madre in California to the plains of unexplored Africa. As the concerns of the old century fade and the First World War divides Europe, the two men's volatile relationship develops and changes, but is always tempered by one exceptional woman; Thomas's sister Sonia.Moving and challenging in equal measure, Human Traces explores the question of what kind of beings men and women really are
