About This Item
New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1950. By the same author of "The Egyptain". The large public which delighted in that book will find an equal thrill on reading 'The Adventurer'. It is a novel on a tremendous scale, full of dramatic events against a rich historical background. The scene is all of Europe and the time the early sixteenth century. Michael, the hero, tells his own story - a life of high adventure, of romance and intrigue. Unbelievable scenes of battle and torture are contrasted with incidents of lusty humor and a story of love. Oil painting for jacket by Robert Stuart MacKellar. Price-clipped dust jacket remains bright.. First Edition, Second Impression. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
