About This Item

London: University of London Press, 1961. Silver title to spine with gold facsimile signature to front on blue boards which are clean and unmarked with no wear but with fading to spine and to a portion of top. Internally very clean, tight and unmarked. 239 pages. Comprises: Foreword by R. Niklaus; Introduction in English; Les Caves du Vatican - text in French (Texte en Français) - I - Anthime Amand-Dubois, II - Julius de Baraglioul, III - Amédée Fleurissoire, IV - Le Milles-Pattes, V - Lafcadio; Notes; Chronology of the Life of Gide; Chronology of the Works of Gide; Selective bibliography. In Les Caves several serious problems are grafted onto the complicated plot: the freethinker Anthime and his ludicrous conversion, and especially the problem of the gratuitous act and human freedom as exemplified in Protos the chief fool and bandit, and his pupil Lafcadio. Disguised as a priest, Protos, the principal philosopher crook, convinces the Countess de Saint-Prix that the pope has been abducted and is kept confined in the Vatican cellars, while an impostor is on the papal throne. B2C . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
