Paperback. New. In 1871 South Carolina, loyalists and rebels struggle to dominate. Old hatred is settled with brutal violence, and slavery is absurdly accepted. Amid the chaos, a rich old man must decide what is valuable, while a poor young man overcomes failure to become a hero. God's word flourishes like a hearty plant pushing its way through soil to sunlight.| Author: David Caringer| Publisher: Elm Hill| Publication Date: Mar 12, 2019| Number of Pages: 300 pages| Language: English| Binding: Paperback| ISBN-10: 159555789X| ISBN-13: 9781595557896, 6, London: William Heinemann Ltd, 1965. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Inscription to fep, otherwise a very clean copy of this scarce title. The jacket has on very minor edge wear and rubbing. Caesar, a twelve year old Italian boy, by-blow of WWII's invading English Army and motherless since early childhood, is a refreshing change in adolescent boy heroes. He recognizes the approach of manhood as a cause for rejoicing and as a signal that his already healthy pride can increase. Caesar was in jail when his mountain village was destroyed by an earthquake. He was there because Luigi, a faker of antiques, wanted his head. Caesar had found a marble head of the Great Julius, his namesake. Needing a symbol and needing to believe in his own destiny, Caesar adopted the head as his genealogy, proof of future power, and was ready to defend his ownership of the head with everything he had. What he's got after the earthquake is the marble head and the Italian Army on his hands. Only Luigi, with his family, Caesar and the young daughter of the owner of a mangy travelling circus survived. The Army wanted to take them to Naples. Caesar wanted to go to Rome. Soon, he has declared war on the whole Italian Army. Together with the circus owner's daughter and the remaining animals, Caesar sets off and his odyssey through the pestilential countryside calls on all his awakening sense of male responsibility and his native resourcefulness. The nuns he acquires in spite of himself and the statue of "God and his Mother" that they must return to Rome increase his burden, especially since they set out to save his soul. There is a visual flow to the narrative and a continual balancing off between sentiment and high comic relief. Great Caesar's ghost!, William Heinemann Ltd, 1965, 3, Gollancz, 2010. Soft Cover. Fine. UNCORRECTED BOOK PROOF. Book in as new, unread, FINE condition. SIGNED & LINED BY AUTHOR TO TITLE PAGE. The elves have fled to Calius, seeking to escape the overwhelming power of the demonic Garonin. A desperate last stand in their own dimension saved the race, at the cost of 100,000 elves lost to the Garonin. The elf who led that fight, Takaar, is blamed for the losses and has gone into hiding. Now the weakened elf race is tearing itself apart in civil war, human mercenaries have arrived in Calius and are ripping the continent apart. Only one elf can unite the elves. And only one elf believes in him. A young warrior named Auum sets out to bring back the shamed hero and save the elven race.

And old readers of James Barclay will welcome a return to one of their favourite creations and will also love seeing one of their favourite characters again - the Tai Gethan warriror Auum destined to be one of the Raven., Gollancz, 2010, 5<
