First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket and illustrations by Robin Ironside (illustrator). 1st Edition. First published in 1953, this is a fourth impression of 1977. Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, price clipped, no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 139pp. On an Aegean island one summer, an English traveller meets an enigmatic elderly Frenchwoman. He is captivated by a painting she owns of a busy Caribbean port overlooked by a volcano and in time she shares the story of her youth there in the early twentieth century. Set in the tropical luxury of the island of Saint Jacques, hers is a tale of romantic intrigue and decadence amongst the descendents of slaves and a fading French aristocracy. But on the night of the annual Mardi Gras ball, catastrophe overwhelms the island and the world she knew came to an abrupt and haunting end. 'The Violins of Saint Jacques' captures the unforeseen drama of forces beyond human control. Upon first publication the book was immediately hailed as a rare and exotic sweep of colour across the drab monochrome of the post war years, and it has lost nothing of its original flavour. Patrick Leigh Fermor (1915-2011), was widely regarded as 'Britain's greatest living travel writer' during his lifetime, A BBC journalist once described him as 'a cross between Indiana Jones, James Bond and Graham Greene.' During the war, working for SOE, he achieved lasting fame for his kidnapping, with Stanley Moss, of Nazi General Heinrich Kreipe on Crete.
