The Horse's Mouth, the third and most celebrated volume of Joyce Cary's First Trilogy, is perhaps the finest novel ever written about an artist. Its painter hero, the charming and larcenous Gulley Jimson, has an insatiable genius for creation and a no less remarkable appetite for destruction. Is he a great artist? a has-been? or an exhausted, drunken ne'er-do-well? He is without doubt a visionary, and as he criss-crosses London in search of money and inspiration the world as seen though his eyes appears with a newly outrageous and terrible beauty.

Book Description Paperback. Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of wear to extremities; mildest rubbing; and a very faint smudge at the middle of the rear panel; several short, very fine and superficial creases to the front panel; the price has been blacked out from a publisher's price label at the lower rear panel; the pages have tanned just slightly, due to aging. The binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Shows a number of very minor flaws, but in overall appearance, remains very close to 'As New'.
