Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good,Slight Chips & Tears. 1st US Edition. The story of a splendidly handsome young Greek, Spiro, and of the three people he brought to ruin. He is picked up out of the gutter, fed, housed and educated by an American idealist, Irvine who is rich, complex, over-educated, a devout Catholic struggling against his instincts. Spiro, by contrast is completely cynical and amoral. All he wants now is an easy life with sensual pleasures, and he goes about getting what he wants with the sureness and ruthlessness of an animal. He brings about the downfall of his benefactor and the death of an Englishwoman who cannot resist the startling beauty of the Greek god.Finally he destroys even the young Greek girl whom he married for her money.248 p.Neat copy, paper age-toned, DJ price clipped and chipped.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Octavo. 248 pp. Blue cloth in good order, gilt titles to spine. The jacket is unclipped with some foxing and darkening to the margins on the rear panel. Foxing to the verso of the front panel but not showing through and touches of foxing to the fore-edges of the text block. A tiny chip at the top edge of the front panel. No inscriptions. The book presents well, and the jacket is now in a protective, acetate sleeve. King was well-travelled, working in several overseas locations for the British Council. He was able to imaginatively inhabit non-English characters, such as the narrator here, the Greek gigolo, Spiro who brings destruction to everyone he comes into contact with. But Spiro's amorality is not without foundation, and the flashbacks to his childhood and the civil war in Greece reveal horrific episodes of cruelty and loss. Living away from England helped King escape the often stifling atmosphere of post-war Britain, giving him the experience to write more expansively than many writers of the period.

Forster, with his ink ownership inscription noting "K.C.C." (King's College Cambridge) to the front free endpaper. This nice association copy. It was later gifted by Forster to his friend Eric Fletcher, who had met him when he was an undergraduate at King's College between 1945 and 1948. The 68 year old Forster was, by then, firmly settled into Cambridge college life, living the life of a traditional bachelor don, ".he was looked after; he was among friends; he knew the way of life and loved the city and it's buildings. and at his age it was convenient" (Furbank), and modestly put up with his great fame, finding his enormous daily post a nuisance but enjoying a stream of visitors, many of them young men who looked on him as a mentor or sage. One of these young men was Eric Fletcher. They immediately struck up a warm friendship and embarked on a correspondence of "several hundred letters of gossip, affection and advice" (Furbank) which would continue until Forster's death. P.N. Furbank, E M Forster: A Life, vol.2, 1978, pp. 277-8. Octavo. Original blue boards, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. A fine copy in bright jacket, slight toning to spine panel but unfaded, minor soiling to folds and rear panel, unclipped.
