Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket by Andrzej Klimowski (illustrator). 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression. Some edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly rubbed and bruised, slight lean, not price clipped (£12.99), no inscriptions, internally clean and tight, overall a vg+ copy. 246pp. A visitor from Peru, happening upon an exhibition of photographs from the Amazon jungle in an obscure Florentine picture gallery, finds his attention drawn to a picture of a tribal storyteller seated among a circle of Michiguenga Indians. There is something odd about the storyteller. He is too light skinned to be an Indian. As the visitor stares at the photograph, it dawns on him that he knows this man. The storyteller is his long lost friend Saul Zuratas, his classmate from university who was thought to have disappeared in Israel. A brilliant and compelling study of the world of the primitive and its place in our own modern lives.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket by Frances Button (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with full number line. Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners bruised, not price clipped (£18.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 404pp. It is the summer of 1916 and Roger Casement awaits the hangman in London's Pentonville Prison. Dublin lies in ruins after the disastrous Easter Rising led by his comrades of the Irish Volunteers. He has been caught after landing from a German submarine. For the past year he has attempted to raise an Irish brigade from prisoners of war to fight alongside the Germans against the British Empire that awarded him a knighthood only a few years before. And now his petition for clemency is threatened by the leaking of his private diary and his secret life as a gay man. Vargas Llosa, with his incomparable gift for powerful historical narrative, takes the reader on a journey back through a remarkable life dedicated to the exposure of barbaric treatment of indigenous peoples by European predators in the Congo and Amazonia. Casement was feted as one of the greatest humanitarians of the age. Now he is about to die ignominiously as a traitor.
