Description
The Pleasure Seeker by Jose Luis de Vilallonga. Vintage hardcover with dust jacket. Published in 1962 by Simon and Schuster. Translated from the French by Richard Howard. Stated First Printing. Very nice copy with light edgewear, binding secure, no handwriting, $3.75 dust jacket price unclipped.
European literary and mid-century fiction novel. It primarily explores themes of romance, European high society, and psychological drama.
Often categorized in vintage publishing circles as a "sleaze" or risqué fiction due to its frank explorations of physical passion and indulgent lifestyles, the narrative acts as a cynical but stylish character study. It centers on an immensely privileged playboy who trades love for desire, navigating the glamorous and hedonistic upper-class European circles of the 1950s and 1960s.
