Contact seller2-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust jacket included. First edition. First Edition. Fine cloth, in slightly chipped dustwrapper. Frontispiece illustrates the trapped giant. Fantasy of a man who wakes from a coma to discover he has grown to gigantic proportions and is kept prisoner by a cruelly experimenting doctor and a perversely l…ustful nurse. Sinister and comical, it probably gave Rod Serling the idea for a classic Twilight Zone episode starring Mickey Rooney. The author was a Roumanian Jew who emigrated to France, then England, and finally America. He became a noted historian with many non-ficiton titles to his credit, but also a handful of novels.
