Hardcover. First English edition. Translated by Ivan Morris. Owner name on the front fly, modest wear, a very good or better copy in an attractive, near fine dustwrapper with some light, but pervasive foxing. Novel about a Japanese soldier lost in physical and spiritual sickness and depravity in the Philippines at the end of WWII. Basis for the excellent Kon Ichikawa film which is often considered one of the greatest (and certainly one of the most harrowing) war films ever made.
