Sobre este artículo
London, UK Little, Brown: Warner Books, 1996. Paperback Reprint Edition (1996); first published in the previous year by Little, Brown. . Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of creasing near the lower rear corner and even fainter at the upper front corner; there is a very light smudge at the upper fore-edge; the pages have tanned, ever so slightly, due to aging; three pages have been inadvertently creased at the upper corner, right at the tip; a tiny 'ding' at the top of the front panel; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of creases to the backstrip. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. A handsome copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing the very mildest wear and several minor imperfections. Bright and clean. Corners sharp. Not far from 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (7.75 x 5 x 0.65 inches). xii, 225 pages. Language: English. Weight: 7.5 ounces. Reprint Edition (1996). First published in the previous year by Little, Brown. Trade Paperback. Eric Davidson's second chapter in the age of Schweik - the era when the ordinary squaddie could, through a bit of earthy judgement and a lot of divine luck, bungle his way through World War II - safe in the knowledge that the enemy would have it own ration of Schweiks, similar common men like himself caught up in forces beyond their making or control. Men for whom war 'like life, was all make-do and mend, try all and error'. 'V for Schweik' celebrates the role of these Schweik-successors in a splendid new selection of tales. Covering the period from D-Day to VE Day, involving the valorous activities of men like Magna Carter, Heavy Wates and Huckleberry Flynn, these ten stories salute the spirit of the legendary Good Soldier with great energy and humour; tales often taller than tall, but always honouring the essential Schweikness of their heroes.
