About This Item
Charles Scribner's Sons, 1949. Book Club Edition. hardcover. very good+ : offset and toning on endpapers, else clean, square, tight./very good: rubbing and corner wear, NOT clipped.. 8vo 308pp. from front flap: "One of the most talented of young historical novelists here opens pages of the past that are rich with strong mediaeval color. Laverne Gay's highly successful first novel, The Unspeakables, illumined one of the darkest corners of the Dark Ages; the scene was sixth-century Italy, and the vivid narrative concerned chiefly the "unspeakable" Lombards who had come swarming down from the North. Wine of Satan moves forward five centuries to a powerful and dramatic tale of love and war in the high Middle Age, to the story of Bohemond, a man of superb subtlety and passion, whose amazing personality captivated his age and mapped the destinies of the First Crusade." #00748.
