Printed Wrapper. Condition: Near Fine. First US. 1st ed. Near Fine. Publishers letter laid in. Uncorrected Proof. The setting is London just before the turn of the century, but Harrison's third mystery featuring the veteran detective-sergeant Joseph Bragg and the toney young constable James Morton has a distinctly modern air. The Home Office has assigned its Special Branch to investigate recent union activity, but when the body of an undercover officer is found impaled on the spiked railing of Allhallows Church, the coroner puts Bragg on the case. Then Bragg is framed on a rape charge and it's up to Morton, with the assistance of a feisty young female reporter, to find out who is stirring things up and why. Elements of industrial and international espionage, military technology, romance and even a suggestion of partisan terrorism build to a high-flying, balloon-chasing climax in this tale that's a period piece only in its trappings. Uncorrected Proof.…

Very Good in Dustjacket. 0374180539. 120 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Jack Harrison. Jacket illustration by Breyten Breytenbach. keywords: Africa South Africa Literature Afrikaans World Literature. DESCRIPTION - A hero of the South African resistance, Breyten Breytenbach has led a life distinguished by political engagement and moral courage. Born into a prominent Afrikaner family, Breytenbach was celeb rated in his own country as the leading Afrikaans poet of his generation and as a painter of distinction. However, after Breytenbach left South Africa for Europe as a young man in the late fifties, his involvement in politics deepened, and by the end of the following decade he had become one of the leading white opponents of apartheid. In 1975, Breytenbach returned clandestinely to South Africa from France. He was arrested, charged with 'terrorism,' and spent seven years in prison - two in solitary confinement. His memoir of this time, True Confessions of an Albino Terrorist, was hailed by Neal Acherson in The New York Review of Books as 'one of the classics of prison literature of the twentieth century.' He was released in 1982, after the direct intervention of France's President Mitterand, and returned to Paris. Judas Eye and Self-Portrait/Deathwatch is the first volume of Breytenbach's poetry to be published since his release from prison. What is most evident in this new work is the range and power of Breytenbach's imagination. Speaking of his earlier works, Nadine Gordimer said Breytenbach 'writes from the underground that is exile. It is impossible for his countrymen and for all of us to stop Our ears against the excruciating penetration of what he has to say.' From poems and autobiographic fragments, Breytenbach in Judas Eye and Self-Portrait/Deathwatch has again succeeded in creating a moving personal testament of urgency and importance. inventory #11403. …
