Synopsis
Kiki, the son of a twice-ex-president, has inherited his father's thirst for power and the presidency. But to become president of Tinieblas takes a Machiavellian intelligence, for one must outwit not only political foes but the strong American interests. An insightful, furious, and funny depiction of twentieth-century Latin America, The Prince is an essential novel for readers of history and magical realism alike.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 1st paperback edition, 1st printing. Clean & tight copy, unread, in Very Good condition, w/no creases in spine & no age toning on pages, tho very slight foxing on book block edges. "THE PRINCE is the story of a country and a man. The country is the Republic of Tinieblas, located in 'the lost continent of Central America,' with a history that is bloody and terribly funny. The man who lets us in on Tinieblas and himself is Kiki Sancudo, one of the most formidable characters in recent fiction. Kiki is paralyzed, the victim of an inefficient assassin, his best and only friend. Now Kiki lives on dreams of revenge and memories of the man he was before the assassin's bullets blasted him into the contemplative life."[]"This is one of three independent but interlocking novels---technically the first volume of a trilogy but, to my mind, more like the left panel of a triptych, since each of the three is complete in itself, since they need not be considered in the order of their publication, and since THE PRINCE (1972) and MANDRAGON (1979) are of a size, while THE DISSERTATION (1975), which they flank in time, is one and two-thirds times larger." [from Koster's Preface to the Quill Edition] The second and third books are my listings RUB1214 & RUB1215, both First Edition, 1st printing hardcovers; individually each sells for $16, but I will sell all 3 for $33 plus appropriate shipping.
