Description: Fifth Business HC by Robertson Davies in Good Plus condition 1970, 1st Edition. Ramsay is a man twice born, a man who has returned from the hell of the battle-grave at Passchendaele in World War I decorated with the Victoria Cross and destined to be caught in a no man's land where memory, history, and myth collide. As Ramsay tells his story, it begins to seem that from boyhood, he has exerted a perhaps mystical, perhaps pernicious, influence on those around him. His apparently innocent involvement in such innocuous events as the throwing of a snowball or the teaching of card tricks to a small boy in the end prove neither innocent nor innocuous. Fifth Business stands alone as a remarkable story told by a rational man who discovers that the marvellous is only another aspect of the real. Dust jacket protected by plastic transparent sleeve. Some creasing on the dust jacket spine edges and cover edges (see photos). Pages with no writing and in good condition. Bind is secure and hardcover novel has been well preserved. There is an ex libris stamp on the inner cover from a past owner. A bump on one of the hard board corners (see photo). A very clean book.
