hardcover. first thus. 8vo 315pp. from front flap: "The people have fled teh countryside. They have come by the thousands into the city. What it is they are fleeing they cannot say. They fear "the enemy"--an enemy whom they are certain will one day attack. One man sits beyond the gates watching. But when the true enemy attacks, he comes not from without, but from within. From this beginning, Marcel Clouzot weaves a fascinating contemporary fable that may be interpreted as a political statement or a philosophical summation of the future of the West. THE WALLED CITY is an allegory about the malaise infecting today's world." #03199. Book VG: mild shelf wear to boards and spine, text clean, binding tight. DJ VG: mild age toning, rubbing.
