Book giver: Carlye (Germany) Condition: PLEASE NOTE!!! This is a book that comes to over 500 grams with packing, and therefore it has to be mooched with another book for it to be worth me sending it overseas. The total grams should come to 850 or less. AS for the condition of the book, not especially good. It's not even been read through completely once, but it looks really used, smudged at edges and dinged at corners. But the binding is still tight and the pages still white.

Book giver: Dan Bush (USA: FL) Condition: This book is in pretty good condition -- it's a little warped from having been in a packing box for the last 3 years. Notes from Amazon.com: From Library Journal Frederick Davidson reads this multi-layered book with more or less success. On one level, Davies's novel is "about" four academics: Maria Theotoky, the brilliant, beautiful graduate student; her adviser, the ascetic Dr. Hollier; Simon Darcourt, the bon vivant priest; and Parlabane, once an outstanding scholar, now sycophant to his former classmates. Then there is the basic plot theme: Who will end up with the girl? Standard stuff. Yet the real focus here is on the spiritual and/or mystical personal explorations of the main characters. Unfortunately the story's lack of organizational coherence has a negative effect on the apparent striving for deeper meaning. In addition, while Davidson is an extremely competent reader of male voices, he makes the supposedly alluring Maria sound almost maternal. For all its imperfections, this book is a compelling performance. Recommended for moderate to large literature collections.?I. Pour-El, Iowa State Univ. Lib., Ames Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition. From AudioFile The Rebel Angels is Canadian novelist Robertson Davies's sometimes philosophical tale of academic life at the College of St. John. Frederick Davidson tells us a story of peculiar events and characters whose lives are entwined through scholarly passions of one type or another. He accomplishes the task of preserving this restless story with a flowing narration. He modulates the voice of Maria, a graduate student, separating her from male companions with expressive accuracy. His slight English accent and dry, earthy elocution soundly stir this fiction to its concluding moment. B.J.L. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

Cover is the same as on http://amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/055277331X Actually I don't know why this book's ISBN is different from that one, because it's by the same publisher (Black Swan). On the back it says "Specially revised and updated for this paperback edition", and it does have an extra preface and a number of extra footnotes compared to the hardcover. It's likely that all the paperback editions have that, though.
