Blurb: “Many years ago the boy Jurgen saw Count Manuel ride westwards from his realm of Poictesme into the sunset-and was soundly thrashed for telling lies. Now Jurgen the pawnbroker is older, possibly wiser, and blessed with a middle-aged scold for a wife. The Devil, observing sympathetically that his wife Does Not Understand Him, transports Jurgen in the appearance of youth but with all his middle-aged wisdom forward into the past, there to meet with all the beauties whom he had loved and longed for in his riotous youth. In Poicesme and o the first love of his tie to fielen of Troy herself, but somehow they are none of them, though infinitely desirable and unfallingly generous, quite as he had dreamed.
JURGEN is complete in itself, but is best read
after FIGURES OF EARTH and THE SILVER STALLION. All three are published in Tandem editions.
