Laughter of Carthage

Stated first American edition with a number line ending in 2 (apparently the first printing); Fine in a near fine dust jacket that shows only mild shelf wear to the ends and edges. A clean, tight, and bright copy that is not remaindered, not price clipped, and not ex-lib, housed in a protective mylar cover.
Maxim Arturovitch Pyatnitski, also known as Pyat, a despicable but charming hero returns in a bizarre picaresque odyssey that takes him from Constantinople in 1919 to Hollywood in 1923.
