Sobre este artículo
London: Chapman and Hall, 1957. First edition, first printing. Published by Chapman and Hall in London, 1957. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper, illustrated by Biro, has some wear at the corners and spine tips. The rear panel is with handling marks. It has not been price clipped, showing the original 12s 6d net price. The original buckram is marked in places and with a slight bow to the boards. The gilt titling is bright. The text blocks are so slightly foxed and toned, with the deep blue topstain clean. There is the Ex-Libris label of James A. Whitehand to the front fly leaf. This copy is free from previous owner's ink and is, overall, in near fine condition. It is Waugh's penultimate full-length work of fiction, which the author called his "mad book"—a largely autobiographical account of a period of hallucinations caused by bromide intoxication that he experienced in the early months of 1954, recounted through his protagonist Gilbert Pinfold.
