Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. Presenting a remarkable addition to any literary book collection, we proudly offer the Hardcover Edition, 13th Printing of "Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice" by James Branch Cabell with an introduction by Hugh Walpole. Published in 1949 by The Bodley Head of London, this edition features an olive green cloth-bound cover, complemented by gold print on the spine. Unfortunately, there is no dust jacket included with this copy. While the book is in Fair condition, it possesses a unique charm that comes with time. The corners show moderate wear, and there is fraying at the spine ends. The spine, however, has experienced some sun fading, adding a weathered character to its appearance. Additionally, a small spot stain is present at the bottom of the spine, which further contributes to its vintage allure. Toning along the text block edges is noticeable, and a small water spot can be seen at the top. Although the binding displays a slight forward roll and is somewhat weak, all the pages remain intact. A former owner's bookplate is affixed to the front paste-down, reflecting the book's previous journey through time. Despite these external characteristics, the interior pages are clean and unmarked, while exhibiting a natural toning due to age. Rest assured, this extraordinary volume will be carefully packaged for shipment, ensuring utmost protection from the elements. Our commitment to providing excellent service includes issuing a USPS electronic tracking number free of charge, allowing you to monitor the progress of this valued acquisition. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you require further information or images of this remarkable book.

"Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice" by James Branch Cabell is a literary work that combines elements of fantasy, satire, and romance. It follows the story of Jurgen, a middle-aged poet and pawnbroker, who embarks on a whimsical journey through various realms and encounters a host of mythical and historical figures along the way. The book takes readers on a surreal adventure as Jurgen navigates through different planes of existence, including encounters with gods, demons, and supernatural beings. Cabell weaves a rich tapestry of folklore, mythology, and religious allegory, exploring themes of morality, desire, and the nature of reality. As Jurgen travels through these fantastic realms, he encounters characters such as Guenevere, Queen of Arthurian legend, and encounters playful parodies of familiar figures from mythology and literature. The narrative is infused with humor and wit, satirizing societal norms and conventions. Through his encounters and experiences, Jurgen confronts questions of identity, the nature of love, and the limitations of human understanding. Cabell's prose is elegant and filled with clever wordplay, making the reading experience both thought-provoking and entertaining. "Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice" is a highly regarded work of literary fantasy, praised for its inventive storytelling and exploration of philosophical themes. It continues to captivate readers with its imaginative world-building, engaging characters, and clever narrative twists.…
