Shusaku Endo – Volcano – First UK Edition 1978
£50.00
First UK edition, first printing. Published by Peter Owen in London, 1978. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper, designed by Keith Cunningham, is bright though with some slight edge wear. It has not been price clipped and shows the original £4.95 net price. The boards, in the publisher’s grey cloth, are without notable chips and marks. The text blocks are bright and white throughout. The internals are clean and free from inscriptions. Overall, this is a near fine copy.
At once a powerful novel of ideas and a dramatic, suspenseful narrative. The action takes place over a few months in the lives of two men–Jinpei Suda, a volcanologist, and Durand, an unfrocked French Catholic priest.
