Nizan, Paul. Antoine Bloyé. Translated by Edmund Stevens. Introduction by Richard Elman. New York / London, Monthly Review Press, 1973. 14 x 21cm. 250 pages. Original clothbound hardcover with dustjacket in protective Mylar. Minor signs of wear to dustjacket, including small tear to rear flap. Excellent condition otherwise. Paul Nizan died in 1940, aged thirty-five, with the French army at Dunkirk. Antoine Bloyé is a Marxist novel, a work that incorporates the imagination of Marx to treat of the alienation of ordinary men from their fellow and their work. Antoine Bloyé is a child of the working class, a locomotive engineer who seeks to better himself by becoming petty bourgeois. He joins the bosses: he marries his boss’s daughter. At moments throughout his life, he is seized by a certain dull anger and regret. For he has given up everything in his life that was vivid for certain smug assurances. [From Introduction]
