Easton Press - Signed First Edition - AMERICAN SCOUNDREL - Thomas Keneally

Description: Personally signed by Thomas Keneally Includes COA and Author’s Note Limited edition #793 of 1,150Hero, adulterer, bon vivant, murderer and rogue, Dan Sickles led the kind of existence that was indeed stranger than fiction. Throughout his life he exhibited the kind of exuberant charm and lack of scruple that wins friends, seduces women, and gets people killed. In American Scoundrel Thomas Keneally, the acclaimed author of Schindler's List, creates a biography that is as lively and engrossing as its subject.Dan Sickles was a member of Congress, led a controversial charge at Gettysburg, and had an affair with the deposed Queen of Spain - among many other women. But the most startling of his many exploits was his murder of Philip Barton Key (son of Francis Scott Key), the lover of his long-suffering and neglected wife, Teresa. The affair, the crime, and the trial contained all the ingredients of melodrama needed to ensure that it was the scandal of the age. At the trial's end, Sickles was acquitted and hardly chastened. His life, in which outrage and accomplishment had equal force, is a compelling American tale, told with the skill of a master narrative. About the AuthorThomas Michael Keneally (born 7 October 1935) is a prolific Australian novelist, playwright, and essayist. Kenneally's first story was published in the Bulletin magazine in 1962 under the pseudonym Bernard Coyle. By February 2014, he had written over 50 books, including 30 novels. He is particularly famed for his Schindler's Ark (1982) (later republished as Schindler's List), the first novel by an Australian to win the Booker Prize and is the basis of the film Schindler's List. He had already been shortlisted for the Booker three times prior to that: 1972 for The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith, 1975 for Gossip from the Forest, and 1979 for Confederates. Many of his novels are reworkings of historical material, although modern in their psychology and style.FeaturesThis item includes the classic Easton Press qualities:* Premium Leather* Silk Moire Endleaves* Distinctive Cover Design* Hubbed Spine, Accented in Real 22KT Gold* Satin Ribbon Page Marker* Gilded Page Edges* Long-lasting, High Quality Acid-neutral Paper* Smyth-sewn Pages for Strength and Durability
