"In this her latest magical evocation of the past, she takes the reader into sixth-century Britain, to Cornwall, the Scillys, Ireland, and Wales. Young Ruan, nephew of the Druid high priest, is destined and prepared for the priesthood. Turbulent, avid for adventure, and restless for fulfillment, he feels caged in the monotonous schooling of the Celtic priests, and longs for the high seas." "Bryher (2 September 1894 28 January 1983) was the pen name of the English novelist, poet, memoirist, and magazine editor Annie Winifred Ellerman, of the Ellerman ship-owning family. She was a major figure of the international set in Paris in the 1920s, using her fortune to help many struggling writers. With her lesbian lover Hilda Doolittle (H. D. ) and Scottish writer Kenneth Macpherson, she launched the film magazine Close Up, which introduced Sergei Eisenstein s work to British viewers. From her home in Switzerland, she helped to evacuate Jews from Hitler s Germany, and then became a popular historical novelist." (from Wikipedia).

The daughter of the wealthiest man in England at the turn of the 20th century, Ellerman adopted the pen name "Bryher" when she entered the famed 1902s literary world of Paris whose epicenter was Sylvia Beach's Shakespeare & Co. bookshop. She was a friend of Hemingway, James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, Hilda Doolittlew and others of that period; openly lesbian in Paris, she entered into a marriage of convenience with Robert McAlmon in order to hide her sexuality from her family in England. They divorced after her father's death in 1927. She used her wealth to suppor many new or struggling authors, artists of the Dadaist and Surrealist movements, the "little magazines" of Montparnasse and beginning around 1930, became interested in filmmaking.

Libro Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. 1955. 192pp. 1 B&W map. 'Bryher' was the pseudonym of the English novelist, poet, memoirist, and magazine editor Annie Winifred Ellerman who was a major figure of the international set in Paris in the 1920s. "This story takes place seventeen hundred years ago round Aventicum and #Orba, a lonely outpost of the roman empire in Switzerland, when the German tribes were massing on the far bank of the Rhine and threatening to come streamng over the passes. . the mood constantly varies - moments of exciting liveliness and colour alternate with descriptions of strange poetic charm, while throughout there is an underlying sense of doom as the walls of the Roman Empire begin to crumble." Some offsetting to the endpapers and tanning to the edges. The book is otherwise in excellent condition. There are no inscriptions and all contents are tight and clean.
