Synopsis
Through combining liberty of syntax with a snappy 'American' style, Boris Vian invented modern French journalism as represented by such successful publications as the daily newspaper Liberation and the slick monthly magazine Actuel. He was at the centre of the Existentialist scene after the Second World War and played comet a la Bix Beiderbecke in the caves of St. Germain des Pres. Such novels as his Autumn in Peking and Froth on the Daydream are still available and read by today's youth. More than any other critic, Vian translated the joy and swing of jazz into prose in his passionate columns in Jazz Hot and Combat in the 1940s and 1950s. Since Vian's French is impossible to translate literally, and since many of his pieces were written for their time and place, this anthology is a selective and adapted collection: the best of Boris Vian.

hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
