In his long life he acted as a musical director to a team of Russian dwarfs, dubbed Peter Lorre's voice in French films, sold locomotives in Switzerland, fought against the Germans as a volunteer with the Foreign Legion, was imprisoned by Vichy for abetting British agents in Marseilles, became private secretary to the post-war Minister of the Interior, and at the age of 54 eloped with the star of the Folies Bergere. Dustjacket reverse has praise for him from Peter Ustinov, Orson Welles, Alexander King and Ionesco. C3C Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

276p., 2 feuillets. Très bon état; non coupé. Edition originale de ce roman de Frédéric O'BRADY, pseudonyme de Frigyes Ábel, acteur, marionnettiste et écrivain d'origine hongroise (1903-2003): où de jeunes comédiens montent, dans une cave de la rive gauche, une pièce d'avant-garde dont la première n'aura jamais lieu. "Quelques années plus tard, lorsque Janine et Pierre auront trouvé le désastre dans leurs décevantes réussites sous le ciel d'en face plusieurs interprétations possibles de cette soirée décisive surnagent encore dans la mémoire des protagonistes, sans apporter une solution. Et personne ne trouve le bonheur. O'BRADY, acteur, connaît mieux que personne le monde du théâtre. Auteur, il le décrit admirablement. "Le Ciel d'en face" est un roman touffu, riche en documentation et pétri de misogynie. Malgré son amertume, cette "histoire comique" est la plus vivante et la plus amusante qu'on ait lue depuis bien des années." (extrait de la présentation de l'éditeur, non imprimée ici).
