FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH, a couple of faint spots to opening leaves and a few at rear, pp. 255, crown 8vo, original red cloth, backstrip lettered in gilt, boards bowing very slightly, a few spots to edges, small bookseller ticket at foot of front pastedown, dustjacket with an attractive design by Bateson Mason, a little chipped and nicked with a small patch of abrasion to top corner of front panel and the red of backstrip panel a shade faded, very good. The novel, following publication in France the year before, had been awarded the Prix Goncourt; it is based on the author's own experiences as a prisoner of the German troops and depicts 'the nightmare existence of human beings in the storms of modern war' (blurb). The dustjacket is one of few examples in this medium by Bradford artist Frank Bateson Mason, who attended the Royal College of Art and who belongs with the Neo-Romantic work of better known artists such as Keith Vaughan and John Minton.
