Description: First published in English in the USA in 1944, this is the first UK edition, first impression of 1973. Some slight edge wear and chipping to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly rubbed, price clipped and price replaced with publisher's sticker (£8.50), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 319pp. In Salvador Dali's (1904-89), only novel, an international best seller written in the USA, we enter the bizarre world already familiar to us from his paintings. In rich and visual language Dali portrays the intrigues and love affairs of a group of eccentric aristocrats (a milieu that Dali longed to inhabit as of right), who, in their luxury and extravagance, symbolize decadent Europe in the 1930s. The Comte de Grandsailles and Solange de Cleda pursue an awkward love affair, but property transactions, inter war political turmoil, the French Resistance, his marriage to another woman and her responsibilities as a landowner and businesswoman drive them apart. It is variously set in Paris, rural France, Casablanca in North Africa and Palm Springs in the United States. Secondary characters include aging widow Barbara Rogers, her bisexual daughter Veronica, Veronica's sometime female lover Betka, and Baba, a disfigured US fighter pilot. The novel concludes at the end of the Second World War, with Solange dying before Grandsailles can return to his former property and reunite with her. Quite a scarce book.
