Francoise Sagan – Those Without Shadows – First Edition 1957
£50.00
First edition, first printing, published by John Murray in London, 1957. This is a very good copy, the boards are free from notable chips and marks, with some browning and a little spotting to the text block, internals free from inscriptions and in general good condition. The very good unclipped dust wrapper with a little edge wear. The author’s third work.
Those Without Shadows is a thought-provoking exploration of identity and existential angst. Set in post-World War II France, the novel follows an affluent couple, Gilles and Geneviève, as they grapple with the emptiness of their privileged existence. Their world is shattered when a mysterious stranger, Hélène, enters their lives, prompting a series of introspective reflections on love, morality and the search for meaning. Sagan’s evocative prose and complex characters offer a poignant examination of the human condition.
