Dust jacket has light edge and corner wear slight creasing at spine light soiling on rear cover price clipped. Planus is the second book of a remarkable autobiographical series written by Blaise Cendrars to be published in English. Like the first volume in this series The Astonished Man it is full of verve humour and excitement and it gives some unique glimpses of Cendrars himself. As one English reviewer once put it 'The whole world seems to have belonged to Blaise Cendrars' an impression vividly confirmed in these crowded pages. He recounts here his adventures in various parts of Europe: his visit to a brothel in Antwerp with its hilarious description of the obese prostitute Rij who would say 'You can't bungle it with me. I am not shaped like a circumflex accent a man can ride me astride or side-saddle'; his voyage as a deck-hand on a Greek dinghy smuggling wine into Italy; a great brawl in an Amsterdam restaurant; his meeting in Paris with his literary hero Rémy de Gourmont; together with anecdotes about Picasso Modigliani and others. Planus is rich in incident brilliant in style disarmingly uninhibited. It will be relished by Cendrars' large circle of English admirers and should capture still more. Peter Owen hardcover

Born in Chaux-de-Fonds Switzerland in 1887 Blaise Cendrars ran away from home when he was just fifteen to work for a jewel merchant. He traveled with the merchant through Russia Persia and China. Cendrars who was educated in Naples Italy finally settled in St. Petersburg to work as an apprentice to a clockmaker. Fighting for the French in World War I Cendrars lost his right arm but taught himself to type left-handed. Cendrars wrote his first long poem Easter in New York in the United States. And his first novel L'Or which focused on the California gold rush was eventually made into the American movie Sutter's Gold. Cendrars chronicled his experiences in Hollywood in articles for Paris-Soir; the articles were published as a book Hollywood: Mecca of the Movies in 1995. Other Cendrars titles include Christmas at the Four Corners of the Earth Rhum and Lice. Cendrars's novels earned him a worldwide reputation and one of France's highest literary honors the Prix Litteraire de la Ville de Paris. Considered a prime catalyst of the modernist movement Cendrars also wrote poems plays and short stories. Cendrars died in 1961 at the age of 74. Peter Owen hardcover
