This novel follows Margot, her husband, an artist, and a communist agent and the enterprise they are involved in; it is action-packed, and considers the price that we pay to love.Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957) was an English writer and critic. His works include 'Tarr', 'The Apes of God', 'Blasting and Bombardiering', 'The Red Priest' and 'The Vulgar Streak'. He was also a prolific painter, and wrote a great deal of essays and other assorted works on non-fiction.This novel was first published in 1937. Complete with a dust wrapper. In the publisher's original full cloth binding with an unclipped dust wrapper. Externally very smart, with minor discolouration to the head and tail of the spine.
