First Edition. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Copy is not price-clipped.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 564 pages; Physical description. : 564 p. ; 22 cm. Subject: Diplomatic couriers - Great Britain - Fiction. Autobiographical memory - Fiction. Europe - History - 1918-1945 - Fiction. Summary: Yves Beauchamp is our narrator, an English officer who has survived the Great War. Awarded the MC, he finds himself appointed as Lloyd George's driver in Paris in 1919. Over the course of a drunken evening, LG reveals to Yves why the treaty he is about to sign in Versailles will not work and that he has no choice but to sign. ('.but I am bound/Upon a wheel of fire, that mine own tears/Do scald like molten lead,' he quotes from Lear). LG proves to be a huge influence on Yves, and his words haunt him as events begin to unfold. After coming back to England in 1920, Yves is appointed a King's Messenger, a driver delivering intelligence between the embassies of Paris and Berlin and London. He meets General Franz Halder, the man who planned a coup against Hitler in 1938. Yves delivers this information to the Foreign Office, which cynically ignores it, just as Chamberlain is about to board a plane for his infamous meeting with Hitler in Munich. The novel is one man's exploration of how these events (im)possibly happened, and about both the individual's responsibility and impotence in the face and course of history. Paul Grieve's interweaving of fact and fiction, of historical and fictional characters, has produced a gripping and impassioned narrative of the first half of Europe's century. There is a real appetite for this kind of fiction: Birdsong, Regeneration and The English Patient to which this novel bears genuine comparison - are obvious examples. We want to examine our history while it's still within living memory. And because the ramifications of both these wars press on us still in many, and sometimes bloody, ways. It is a breathtaking achievement for a first novel. 0 Kg.

Some very slight edge wear to top of spine, corners very slightly bruised, not price clipped (£16.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy, looks unread. 564pp. A major literary novel set against the end of the First World War, the inter war years, and the start of the Second World War. The narrative is the life of Yves Beauchamp, told as he lies dying in a Vancouver hospice. From his education at a brutal British public school, the story moves to his battle experiences in France as a junior officer in 1917, to his involvement in the post war resurgence of Germany, and his debauched tour through the ruins of Europe in 1946. Yves' auditor is a troubled architect, a volunteer at the hospice, preoccupied by marital turmoil, but increasingly overwhelmed by the old man's narrative. Yves' story centers on his relationship with a German officer, Werner Schacht, whom he meets during the last days of the war in 1918, then again in Paris during the negotiation of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. Their difficult friendship, and Yves' romance with a German speaking French nurse from Alsace, bring out the lethal flaw at the heart of the Treaty. As the peace unravels, Werner and Yves make an attempt to stay the tyranny of events, ending in disaster for them both. The story includes descriptions of the Battle of Cambrai of 1917, the politics of the Treaty, the failed coup against National Socialism in 1938, and the almost successful plot to assassinate Hitler in 1944. The hideous fate of Werner Schacht as one of the plotters captured after the failed attempt is the climax of the book, based on a reel of film made to satisfy Hitler's revenge, but later lost in the chaos as the War ended. A description of the shocking celluloid images has never before been attempted, here recreated by Grieve from German archives and witness statements. The author's acclaimed debut novel.
