Start the first page and you are in the presence of an old-fashioned baroque novel, intelligent, extravagant, as photographically precise as his paintings but not so silly . . . Dalí notices everything. --P.J. Kavanagh, Guardian
So full of visual invention, so witty, so charged with an almost Dickensian energy that it's difficult not to accept its author's own arrogant valuation of himself as a genius. --George Melly
Flames positively lick from Salvador Dalí s pages. --Hilary Spurling, Harpers & Queen
As far back as 1922 the great poet Garcia Lorca had predicted that I was destined for a literary career and had suggested that my future lie precisely in the pure novel . In this book, the only novel by Salvador Dalí and now in its seventh paperback edition, the reader enters the bizarre world already familiar to us from his paintings.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Jacket and illustrations by the author (illustrateur). 1st Edition. First published in English in the USA in 1944, this is the first UK edition, first impression of 1973. Some slight edge wear and chipping to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly rubbed, price clipped and price replaced with publisher's sticker (£8.50), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 319pp. In Salvador Dali's (1904-89), only novel, an international best seller written in the USA, we enter the bizarre world already familiar to us from his paintings. In rich and visual language Dali portrays the intrigues and love affairs of a group of eccentric aristocrats (a milieu that Dali longed to inhabit as of right), who, in their luxury and extravagance, symbolize decadent Europe in the 1930s. The Comte de Grandsailles and Solange de Cleda pursue an awkward love affair, but property transactions, inter war political turmoil, the French Resistance, his marriage to another woman and her responsibilities as a landowner and businesswoman drive them apart. It is variously set in Paris, rural France, Casablanca in North Africa and Palm Springs in the United States. Secondary characters include aging widow Barbara Rogers, her bisexual daughter Veronica, Veronica's sometime female lover Betka, and Baba, a disfigured US fighter pilot. The novel concludes at the end of the Second World War, with Solange dying before Grandsailles can return to his former property and reunite with her. Quite a scarce book.
