The Blurb

It is 1941 and Captain Antonio Corelli, a young Italian officer, is posted to the Greek island of Cephallonia as part of the occupying forces. At first he is ostracised by the locals but over time he proves himself to be civilised, humorous – and a consummate musician.

When Pelagia, the local doctor's daughter, finds her letters to her fiancé go unanswered, Antonio and Pelagia draw close and the working of the eternal triangle seems inevitable. But can this fragile love survive as a war of bestial savagery gets closer and the lines are drawn between invader and defender?




The Book


This is a RARE 1st Issue of the 1st Print of the 1st UK hardback edition published by Secker & Warburg in 1994


Presented here in the rare 1st Issue cream boards with maroon endpapers.


A Near Fine book with the usual toning to top edges and a handful of tiny dog-ears.

Slight pushing to spine tips, with a slight bump to upper bottom corner.

Seems unread and in far better condition than usually encountered.

Ever so slight crinkling and wear to edges and joints.


A beautiful example.
