‘The rose of the book’s title is the symbol of this intermarriage, or crossing, of East and West … an alchemical leitmotif and a metaphor for the storytelling art. A double narrative cork-screws around itself, creating all sorts of mirror effects: two voyages, two adolescents, two ship’s captains, and most importantly, two exiled philosophers swimming against the tide of history.’
– Adam Aikin, ‘Nature and Nurture’, Southerly, February 1996.
Condition: Tanned pages, small mark to outer page edges. Overall in very good condition.
