Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First English Edition. 8vo. Navy blue cloth with silver titling to the spine. [vi], 266pp. Originally published in French as 'Paysage de fantaisie' in 1973. This is the 1st printing of the 1st English edition, introducing to the English-speaking world a writer compared with William S. Burroughs and Jean Genet, and winner of the 1973 Prix Medicis. 'Le Monde' said of the author, 'What is so utterly startling in Duvert is the way he transforms our notion of novelistic time.' 'The setting of this novel is an abandoned chateau located in a fog-bound region, possibly Brittany, complete with a forbidden cellar in which hang seven bodies, all victims of horrible sexual assaults. The chatelaine is a sinister doctor and her elderly husband, aided by a depraved young henchman, Marco. The inmates in this strange castle are a gang of boys ranging in age from eight to fourteen, rounded up from various city slums and peasant hovels, and purchased from their families for the price of a fishing boat or the side of a pig. The boys are well fed and clothed and allowed every freedom, but on certain afternoons and evenings they must entertain the highly respected gentlemen who have paid well for the privilege of their company.' Very Good, the head edge of the cloth very slightly faded, the head edge of the pages lightly spotted, the spine ends gently bumped. In Very Good dust jacket, slightly rubbed to extremities, with small chips to a couple of corners, the edges curling a little, the spine very lightly faded, and with a small, unobtrusive old price sticker to the front flap. An attractive copy of a rare book. Nº de ref. del artículo: 003325
