The Black Soul |
O'Flaherty, Liam. |
Jonathan Cape, London |
1936 |
VG/no DJ. Cover soiled a bit, off-white cloth.12mo-over 63⁄4-73⁄4 tall. The sea roars dismally around the shores of Inverara. Tortured by the chaos of his shell-shocked mind, a stranger takes a room on the island. Here lives Red John, scavenger of wreckage, with his beautiful wife, Mary, pirate blood in her veins. Unlit by sensuality, suffused by hate, the couple's married years have been stifling ... until the presence of the stranger unleashes their passions. But with autumn comes a sense of catastrophe in this story of human desire, and the stranger fears for his sanity. O'Flaherty's prose -- with its eye for the tiny details and vast dramas of nature -- recreates the magnificence of his place of birth. As Wuthering Heights is to the Yorkshire moors, so The Black Soul is to the Aran Islands. |

1953 |
Fine book/G+ DJ, slightly soiled. Price cut. Philosophical fiction about life in a termite colony, preface by Bertrand Russell. The strange, imaginative story of the social and personal conflicts of a termite colony, a book reflecting the author's Skeptical Positivism that, according to Bertrand Russell, belongs to the genre in which Gulliver's Travels is a preeminent example. This book was written in 1942 in France and the manuscript was sent, page by page, in letters, through Lisbon to London [real spy stuff]. The author soon followed. Polish writers chose Professor Mmaa's Lecture as one of the three best books of the year. The publishers decided in 1953 to issue it in its original uncut form.

I've never seen so many beautiful, exact and vivid sentences compacted into one work. The story is humorous and emotional, while striking into the heart of universal themes and characterization. Wallant should be considered as great of a writer as Faulkner or Melville. |
