1955 A Ghost at Noon
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, With Dustwrapper
The first edition of this translated work in the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original and very scarce unclipped dust wrapper. Ink inscription to the front paste down. Il disprezzo, known in English as Contempt or A Ghost At Noon, was written by Italian novelist and journalist Alberto Moravia, and is here translated into English by Angus Davidson. The novel explores the film world of Rome, and the slow breakdown of a once happy marriage.
Condition
In the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, cloth is in smart condition, with some very faint marks to the boards and spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are clean but with offsetting to the end papers and spotting to the fore edge, affecting the occasional page. Dust wrapper is chipped to the extremities with a loss to the tail of the spine and some marks to the rear of the wrap. Tape repairs to the verso of the wrap.
Very Good
