The Duke
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

"Outside Vallorgàna, a tiny, isolated village in the Dolomites, the 'Duke' lives in the villa of his aristocratic ancestors. The last of the Cimamonte family, he spends his days on his land and absorbed in his archive, tolerated, if gently ridiculed by his neighbours. When he finds out that the village big man is taking timber from his land, he has a decision to make. Will he stay in his glorious isolation, or will he honour his ancestral blood and take action against the affront? Matteo Melchiorre's novel is a sweeping feat of literary imagination.With the pace, panorama and plot twists of a great nineteenth-century classic, the story of the ensuing feud unfolds, and asks some big twenty-first century questions about our relationships with privilege, the past, the natural world and each other"--Page 4 of cover.
