Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Richler's ninth novel and, arguably, his most ambitious, is the story of the Gursky family, told by Moses Berger, son of a failed poet, and long obsessed with Solomon Gursky. It is a comic-tragic story that ranges from the underworld of 19th century London through the Franklin Expedition to the Arctic to Prohibition and bootlegging on the prairies and eastern townships of Quebec. It is an unconventional Arctic, Jewish, financial and alcoholic history of Canada, peopled unforgettable rogues, heroes and heroines. First edition, first printing (as stated, with complete number line). About 6 1/4 x 9 1/4 inches, 557 pages in light-grey, pulp-textured paper-covered boards with blue lettering on spine. Dustjacket's front panel shows author and title in black lettering above a photo of a raven, all against a light-grey background. Same black lettering and raven on spine. Back panel shows full-cover, b & w photo of author. Other than a blue remainder mark on bottom edge of text, the book's boards and text are complete, clean and unmarked. No noticeable flaws or damage, no tearing, creasing or bumping. Binding is tight, book is square. Not ex-library. Dustjacket shows a closed, half-inch tear on upper edge of front panel, a couple of tiny edge tears and other minor edge wear. A single, inch-long scratch on back panel photo in background above author's head. Not price-clipped. Overall, a quite collectable copy of a book shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 1990. [Due to the book's size and weight, priority/express orders or orders from outside the U.S. will require additional postage.].
