Sobre este item
New York: Viking, 1993. First edition and first printing. Hardcover. This is the true first edition prior to the revisions. A controversial novel as Leavitt was sued by author Stephen Spender and the first printing was pulled from shelves. The book was edited and later reissued. A clean and tight very near fine copy in paper covered boards with cloth spine in a very near fine dust jacket.
Sinopse
David Leavitt has earned high praise for his empathetic portrayal of human sexuality and the complexities of intimate relationships. Now, with While England Sleeps, available for the first time in two years, Leavitt moves beyond precisely controlled domestic drama to create a historical novel, one that has greater breadth and resonance than anything he has written before. Set against the rise of fascism in 1930s Europe, While England Sleeps tells the story of a love affair between the aristocratic young British writer Brian Botsford, who thinks homosexuality is something he will outgrow, and Edward Phelan, a sensitive and idealistic working-class employee of the London Underground and a Communist party member. When the strains of class difference, sexual taboo, and Brian's ambivalence impel Edward to volunteer to fight against Franco in Spain, Brian pursues him across Europe and into the violent chaos of war.
