About this Item
Description:
Book Condition, Fine: An unread copy that remains in almost perfect condition. A piece of the dust jacket missing (inside front flap), very slight bumping particularly to the rear cover top-edge, light sunning, but excellent overall, no major tears or blemishes, cover artwork bright and vibrant. Now protected by plastic slipcover. Original red binding with silver lettering along spine in mint condition. Some foxing across the text block, but mostly clean with crisp page edges. Pages throughout are tightly bound, clean and tidy throughout.
A first edition, first printing hardback, collectible as an early standalone novel by Georges Simenon and sought after by collectors of European psychological fiction and classic mid-century literature.
This novel centres on the tense and morally complex world of politics, ambition, and personal compromise, rendered through Simenon?s trademark economical prose and psychological insight. The narrative follows characters navigating power, desire, and ethical uncertainty, with atmosphere and character detail driving the story as much as plot. Lean, compelling, and quietly unsettling, the book offers a sharp study of human motivation and social pressure within a tightly controlled, suspenseful framework. Seller Inventory # 3120 RM
