Description:
Academie Polonaise des Sciences, 1957-01-01. Paperback. Good. In French. 1957 first edition Academie Polonaise des Sciences (Warsaw, Poland), 8 1/2 x 11 1/8 inches tall paperbound in brown printed wraps, 190 pp. plus the second half of the book, 27 full-page photographic plates printed on heavy stock, with descriptions on facing pages. Book would be 'very good,' but for soiling to the wraps and a significant bump to the lower spine, causing a waviness to all pages at the lower gutter and cracking to the wraps along the lower spine. Note that this is a heavy and oversized book, so additional postage will be required for international or priority orders. ~VVV~

Slight age toning to text. Otherwise, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked. ~L~ Translated from the original Japanese by Satoko Toguchi, The Key (Kagi in Japanese), is a novel written by Jun'ichiro Tanizaki in 1956. The entire story is written in diary form, alternating between the entries of an elderly man who decides to spice up his ailing marriage with a series of intrigues and that of his much younger wife, who complies with her husband's desires without letting him know she is aware of his schemes. Tanizaki (1886 - 1965) was one of the major writers of modern Japanese literature, and perhaps the most popular Japanese novelist after Natsume Soseki. Some of his works present a shocking world of sexuality and destructive erotic obsessions. Others, less sensational,…
