Hardcover. no dust jacket moderately worn copy spine turned spine cloth faded and white spine lettering rubbed; attractive small label like a miniature bookplate on front pastedown. line drawings One of this writing team's scarcer works a satirical novel about a young Englishman who falls in with a group of down-and-out White Russian emigres in Paris who have banded together in a kind of anti-socialist social club known as the White Elephants. Its philosophy is explained by one of its members: "We serve no useful purpose. We have no place in the struggle for existence. We refuse to contribute to the evolution of the Superman. We are here on this earth entirely as spectators. It is unfortunate that in order to watch we have to eat. It is thus impossible for us to attain one hundred per cent efficiency in indolence. But we do our best. We live untidily and straggle through our days." Filmed in England in 1944 as "Give Us the Moon." . c.1940. Farrar & Rinehart hardcover books

Jesty, SimonABAA

'Ye Drunken Damozel': The Tavern in the Folly

1932ref. 22412New York: Harrison Smith & Robert Haas. Very Good in Very Good- dj. First American Edition. Hardcover. moderately shelfworn light-colored staining along front joint; jacket has paper loss at several corners various small nicks and tears some soiling and age-darkening to rear panel. Somewhat phantasmagorical novel about a young fellow the bastard son of a sailor who grows up in a grimy quayside London cul-de-sac and falls in love with a "slum-sprite" girl whose lowlife father runs the titular pub. Returning some years later from military service he finds that she's run off and become a celebrated chanteuse; he tracks her down to Rio but she denies her younger identity which of course forces him to spend the rest of the book trying to win her back. The New York Times reviewer although admiring of the writer's style was somewhat nonplussed by the novel calling it "a novel from Mars . . . a strange creation -- terse elliptical obscure peculiarly foreshortened" -- and yet "a rich and varied dish succinctly portioned out and well flavored with excitement." "Simon Jesty" was apparently a pseudonym but for whom I dunno. The author's entire literary output at least under that name seems to have consisted of this novel and one other "River Niger" published in 1935; the only possible clue to his identity is some kind of undefined connection with T.E. Lawrence who provided a strange sort of preface to the latter book based on an advance reading of the manuscript. Great noir-ish jacket illustration by the great Arthur Hawkins Jr. . 1932.
