Binding is yellow cloth with black lettering on the spine; 300 pages; some light tanning to the pages. Some minor edgewear to the dj with some short, closed tears to the top edge; now protected inside a cover. Jean Paul Martin, the hero of this novel, is as turbulent and unpredictable, as strange a mixture of idealism and hatred, as the French Revolution itself, in the thick of which he lives and loves and pursues his feuds. Four years in the Comte de Gravereau's private prison have left a scar on his forehead and a deeper invisible scar in his heart. Indeed the Comte is to be the baleful genius of Jean's life.
