by Mann, Thomas
London: Secker and Warburg, 1955. First American Edition. Octavo. 408p. This is the continuation of Felix Krull in which the author recounds the strange and entranced career of the gifted swindler. Krull is a man unhampered by the moral precepts that govern the conduct of ordinary mortals, and this natural lack of scruple, coupled with his mental and physical endowments, enables him to to develop the arts of subterfuge and deception with astonishing success. Bound in black cloth, title in blind, spine lettered and decorated in gilt. A handsome copy, near fine in near fine unclipped dust jacket.
