Paperback. Condition: Very Good. (NYRB Classics). The cantankerous & charming, Ebenezer Le Page is one of the most compe lling literary creations of the late 20th century. Eighty years-old, he has lived his whole life on the Channel Island of Guernsey, a stone speck of a place caught between the coasts of England and France yet a world apart from either. The book is a beautifully detailed chronicle of a life, but it is equally an oblique reckoning with the traumas of the 20th century, as Ebenezer recalls both the men lost to the Grat War and the German Occupation of Guernsey during WWII, and looks with despair at the encroachments of commerce and tourism on his beloved island. Glossary. 400p.

Trade paperback. A very unusual book, written in a variant of Guernsey English, but one which captures the reader from the very first sentence. Little is known about the author, other than that he was a professor of literature and drama in England, born in 1899 on the Island of Guernsey, and his friends included John Middleton Murray, Frieda and D.H. Lawrence, Tagore and Annie Besant. The manuscript for this book was found among his papers after his death, and is his only known book. It tells the story of a Guernsey man who lived through the Nazi occupation of Britain's Channel Islands into garrulous old age. Introduction by John Fowles. Map, notes on Guernsey English, glossary. xiv, 400 pp. Fine in glossy illustrated wrappers.

Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 400 pages. Ebenezer Le Page, cantankerous, opinionated, and c harming, is one of the most compelling literary creations of the late twentieth century. Eighty years old, Ebenezer has lived his whole life on the Channel Island of Guernsey, a stony speck of a place caught between the coasts of England and France yet a world apart from either. Ebenezer himself is fiercely independent, but as he reaches the end of his life he is determined to tell his o wn story and the stories of those he has known. He writes of fami ly secrets and feuds, unforgettable friendships and friendships b etrayed, love glimpsed and lost. The Book of Ebenezer Le Page is a beautifully detailed chronicle of a life, but it is equally an oblique reckoning with the traumas of the twentieth century, as E benezer recalls both the men lost to the Great War and the German Occupation of Guernsey during World War II, and looks with despa ir at the encroachments of commerce and tourism on his beloved is land. G. B. Edwards labored in obscurity all his life and compl eted The Book of Ebenezer Le Page shortly before his death. Publi shed posthumously, the book is a triumph of the storyteller's ar t that conjures up the extraordinary voice of a living man. Imag ine a weekend spent in deep conversation with a superb old man, a crusty, intelligent, passionate and individualistic character at the peak of his powers as a raconteur, and you will have a very good ideas of the impact of The Book of Ebenezer Le Page.It amu ses, it entertains, it moves us. -The Washington Post A true e pic, as sexy as it is hilarious, it seems drenched with the harsh tidal beauties of its setting.For every person nearing retirem ent, every latent writer who hopes to leave his island and find t he literary mainland, its author-quiet, self-sufficient, tidy Hom eric-remains a patron saint. -Allan Gurganus, O Magazine Editori al Reviews Review Recently reprinted by New York Review Books, G .B. Edwards' novel tells the story of a Guernsey man who lived th rough the Nazi occupation of Britain's Channel Islands into garru lous old age. His reminiscence is couched in a musical Guernsey E nglish that follows circular paths through past and present to de lve into island secrets and sagas. Great stuff. --Seattle Times There is a rare wholeness about The Book of Ebenezer Le Page. You get the entire man, in a way that isn't usually within the gift of literature to procure. I have read few books of such wide an d delightful appeal. [it] is vast fun and vast life, a Kulturg eschichte. -Michael Hofmann, London Review of Books .a near- forgotten classic of post-colonial fiction.yet it comes, not fr om some far tropical shore, but from an old man writing in the 19 70s about his native Guernsey . All honour to the New York Rev iew imprint for restoring him to his obstreperous glory. -The Ind ependent (UK) A masterpiece. one of the best novels of our ti me.I know of no description of happiness in modern literature e qual to the one that ends this novel. -The New York Times (Guy Da venport) Quaint. Fascinating. Unique. Queer.The Book of Ebenez er Le Page is a eulogy for a way of life. -The Los Angeles Times (Valerie Miner) It reads like Beethoven's Ninth.Coated with se a salt, its crannies spilling wildflowers, Edwards's book still r oars like some huge shell held, cutting, against your ear. -The A tlantic An extraordinary book!.Splendid! To read it is not lik e reading but living. -William Golding Imagine a weekend spent i n deep conversation with a superb old man, a crusty, intelligent, passionate and individualistic character at the peak of his powe rs as a raconteur, and you will have a very good idea of the impa ct of The Book of Ebenezer Le Page.It amuses, it entertains, it moves us. Ebenezer's voice presides over all and its creation is a tremendous achievement. -The Washington Post (Doug Lang) [A ] rare find.it is unique-a first novel that resis.
