Sobre este artículo
New York: The Orion Press, 1969. First Edition. Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Signed by Jan Benes on the dedication page, inscribed to former owner with a cartoon of a cat and the Czech flag, dated October 30, 1969. [xii], 161, [3] pp. Publisher's cloth lettered in metallic purple. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Laid in letter on Publishers' Weekly letterhead about the author from an unknown woman, cryptically noting that in Paris "he, Howard and Helena are so busy playing James Bond that they have kind of lost track of the fact that the real name of the game is Russian roulette!" An uncommon signature from a Czech author and dissident who emigrated to America in 1969, staying until the USSR fell, then moved back to the Czech Republic. This novel, set in a Czech labor camp in the1950s, was forbidden to be published by the communist authorities.
