Vintage 1956 THE TOWERS OF TREBIZOND ROSE MACAULAY RS HB BookWhat's It About?"'Take my camel, dear, ' said my aunt Dot, as she climbed down from this animal on her return from High Mass." So begins The Towers of Trebizond, the greatest novel by Rose Macaulay, one of the eccentric geniuses of English literature. In this fine and funny adventure set in the backlands of modern Turkey, a group of highly unusual travel companions makes its way from Istanbul to legendary Trebizond..., encountering potion-dealing sorcerers, recalcitrant policemen, and Billy Graham on tour with a busload of Southern evangelists. But though the dominant note of the novel is humorous, its pages are shadowed by heartbreak as the narrator confronts the specters of ancient empires, religious turmoil, and painful memories of lost love.Condition: Fair. Some quite heavy age spots to the fore-edge, hardcovers good with slight wear to the little leather title at outer spine, some marks to first and last few pages.
