Seller's Description:
New York. 1958. Scribners. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 310 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Robert Galster. keywords: Literature America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-This remarkable novel vividly portrays the modern Greek scene as a curious combination of old and new, pagan and Christian. Edmund Keeley projects upon this scene the conflict, and occasionally the interfusion, of the contrasting backgrounds and beliefs of his major characters. There is Thomas Gammon, the son of an American missionary in Turkey, who moves to Salonika in 1923, becomes a wealthy businessman, and dies on a hunting trip early in 1950. His son, Timothy, brought up in Salonika, is educated in the United States, and, as the novel opens, has returned to Greece after his father's death. Achilles and Cassandra are husband and wife living in Salonika. Achilles acts as helper and caretaker for Thomas Gammon. Cassandra's daughter, Helen, is a childhood friend of Timothy's. Finally, there is Armenian, deaf and dumb, mentally retarded, brought as a baby from a gypsy band and raised to adulthood by Cassandra. Timothy returns to Greece in 1950 in order to claim his inheritance and to discover the truth about his father. In the process, he discovers what appears to him to be a startling record of deceit and irresponsibility, and he learns, too, much that previously he has not known about himself. inventory #42869.
