About This Item
London: Longmans, Green. Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1958. First Edition. Hardcover. 165 pages; Clean and tight in original teal blue boards in wonderful pictorial dustjacket (designed by Bruce Petty), price on interior flap has an ink slash with new price written in, light dust soiling to rear flap. Maugham's novel is not only a study of that strange and frightening phenomenon of the mind known as dissociation of personality, but is also an enthralling story of adventure, love and intrigue in North Africa. The hero's appalling disability, as a result of a head wound during the war (WWII), adds immeasurably to the danger of his already hazardous work with MI-5. An engrossing tale of a man's developing fear of himself as he becomes more and more entangled in a web of mystery and violence which starts in Cairo, spreads to Tangier and London, and reaches its final climax in a remote cottage in Sussex. Young 2572; Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item. It has its own physical history that imbues it with a character lacking in ephemeral electronic renderings. .
