Riguardo questo articolo

First edition of this work by "one of the great magicians of fiction . . . White's scope is vast and his invention endless" (The Observer). Octavo, original cloth. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket art by Tom Adams. An exceptional example. Hurtle Duffield, a painter, coldly dissects the weaknesses of any and all who enter his circle. His sister's deformity, a grocer's moonlight indiscretion, the passionate illusions of the women who love him-all are used as fodder for his art. It is only when Hurtle meets an egocentric adolescent whom he sees as his spiritual child does he experience a deeper, more treacherous emotion in this tour de force of sexual and psychological menace that sheds brutally honest light on the creative experience. Upon his death, The Times wrote, â Patrick White did more than any other writer to put Australian literature on the international map.â ¦ His tormented oeuvre is that of a great and essentially modern writer.â .
