A propos de cet article

Pp. 264. Red cloth. Title, author and publisher details in yellow on spine. Corners and spine ends & edges lightly rubbed. D.j. designed by Charles Mozley is worn and nicked at spine ends. Lightly worn & nicked with small loss at corners. Not price clipped. First English edition published in 1958. The first French edition was issued in 1957. A French literary classic which was awarded the Prix Renaudot in France in 1957. The plot is quite straightforward: a middle-aged man takes the train in Paris to visit his lover, Cécile, whom he has not informed of his arrival, in Rome. They have met in secret once a month for the past two years: each time that his business trips have taken him to the Italian capital. He now intends to tell her that he has finally decided to leave his wife, found a job for her (Cécile) in Paris and is ready to take her back there and live with her. The novel describes his gradual change of mind. His initial enthusiasm and hopes of a rejuvenating new start slowly give way to doubt, fear and cowardice. He eventually decides to spend the week-end in Rome alone, go back to Paris the following Monday without telling anything to Cécile and leave the situation as it was until their relationship eventually ends. He will write about this failure in a book which happens to be "La Modification" itself. This his book is his most important highly respected works. English translation by jean Stewart. Book is good and d.j. fair+. Good overall. Scarce.…
