Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket by John Robinson (illustrator). 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression. Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very slightly rubbed, slight browning to back jacket, but overall largely orange jacket still bright and unsunned. Not price clipped (12s 6d), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy for its age. 212pp. This harrowing book describes the experiences of a soldier in the routed Imperial Japanese Army on the Philippines in the final days of World War II. The story is told through the eyes of Private Tamura who, after being thrown out by his own company, chooses to desert the military altogether and wanders aimlessly through the Philippine jungle during the Allied campaign. Descending into delirium, Tamura is forced to confront nature, his childhood faith, hunger, his own mortality, and in the end, cannibalism. Considered one of the most important novels of the postwar period and based loosely on Ooka's (1909-88) own wartime experiences in the Philippines, the book explores the meaning of human existence through the struggle for survival of men who are driven by starvation to cannibalism. It was subsequently made into a prize-winning film by Ichikawa Kon in 1959. Quite a scarce book.
