FROM THE PUBLISHER - A fantastic, semi-symbolical, loosely written narrative in which the characters are a pack of lunatics with farmyard morals - Liverpool Post. Gerhardie himself descried the book as a novel about two men treading the donkey-round of paradise deferred their literary friendship strained to breaking-point by rivalry in love. The two main characters are thought to be based on Hugh Kingsmill (Max) and Gerhardie himself (Victor). inventory #4101.

Very Good.No Dustjacket. 372 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature England . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Resurrection' is fiction and autobiography merged into one. For though, in its passionate argument for the resurrection of the body, it presents the entire truth of the author's experience, it remains fiction in its technique and in its surface of names and pattern. A brilliant London ball furnishes the setting. Here are encountered the singular and bright individuals whose lives and thoughts have contributed to the reality of the author's existence. Throughout this affair, dancing, falling in love, conversing, eating, he is driven by the powerful conviction that has lately come to him - the conviction that we do not die. This belief so colors and compels each moment, that he has the force to relive his entire life in the course of the evening. More than half of the book is given to an extraordinary recital, during which the author summons up the experiences he had in one year that was unusually crowded with adventure of every sort, a year of travel when he visited America, Greece, Egypt, India. Returning to the ball at last, he returns to his present and to the bewildering contrast that his new belief in an after-life provides. The whole last section is a record of the personal conflict, subtly played out in the setting with which the novel begins. New in treatment as in story, this represents William Gerhardi's most mature contribution to fiction. The style and signature are unmistakable; and they are the same that distinguished such novels as FUTILITY and THE POLYGLOTS. inventory #4107.

First Edition
hardcover. 1st edition. New York. 1922. Duffield & Company. 1st American Edition. Worn Boards, Otherwise Good.No Dustjacket. Preface by Edith Wharton. 256 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature England Russia. FROM THE PUBLISHER - This is the first novel by William Gerhardie, first published in 1922, and it was made famous by H. G. Wells, who described it as 'true, devastating - a wonderful book'. Based on Gerhardie's own experiences as a member of the British Military Mission to Siberia shortly after the October Revolution, Futility paints a picture of contemporary Russian society which deserves comparison with the writing of Chekhov. At the centre of the story is Nicolai Vasilievich, who trails across Russia in the wake of the British Mission in the perpetual and unrealistic hope of seeing his fortunes improve, even though they steadily deteriorate. In counterpoint to Nicolai's comic progression, Gerhardie tells the story of his narrator's hopeless love for Nina, the second of Nicolai's three bewitching adolescent daughters. 'William Gerhardie is one of our immortals. He is our Gogol's Overcoat. We all came out of him.' Olivia Manning 'He is a comic writer of genius . but his art is profoundly serious.' C. P. Snow. inventory #2184 Worn Boards, Otherwise Good.No Dustjacket.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. 8vo; cloth backed green paper over boards. Leading corners bumped and chewed; foxing to edges and primarily the first dozen pages. A Fair only copy, But: On a color postcard for D'Agostini Winery, historian and author has typed: "Don Bernardo: Thanks for your note; but I'm sorry that you cannot attend my beatification on the Embarcadero. (I'll look for your shade (ghost). aloha, dick dillon." Richard Dillon was a regular visitor to any bookstore in San Francisco and beyond that might yield a nugget for the project he was working on, or any conceivable future project. He would also pull any of his own titles you might have in stock, and sign them, thereby adding to the saleability if not the price. From his perch at the Sutro Library, or home office, he kept stacks of old postcards, and would fire off short missives to friends and colleagues, like this one to bookseller Barney Rosenthal. A gregarious and generous friend to bookpeople everywhere, he and his humorous touch are missed.
