In Comrade Don Camillo, the Quixotic parish priest from the Po river valley, blackmails his way aboard a Red pilgrimage to Russia. The result, as might be expected, is that every sacred cow in the Soviet establishment is wide open to irreverent sabotage by the Vatican's jaunty secret weapon. Don Camillo and the Devil is a sparkling collection of extremely funny stories in which the Almighty is again pressed into the role of reluctant Arbiter in the perpetual war waged between His champion on Earth and Peppone, the Devil's advocate - according to Camillo! 11.

London: Methuen, 1956. A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a little spotting to top and fore edges and age toning to endpapers) with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 218 pages. Translated by Anthony Powell. A fictional biography of Beethoven written in the form of imaginary memoirs by Herr von Zmeskall, a Viennese civil servant who is known to have been the composer's close friend for many years, and who must therefore have been one of the few people who could presume to understand Beethoven's secretive and tempestuous genius. By combining fact and fiction the author has made a valuable and moving contribution to our understanding of one of the most elusive and remarkable men that ever lived.
