Excerpt from The Question of Cain, Vol. 1 of 3 Rhodes, the English chaplain, whom every one knew and everyone liked, and whom no division divided from the most or the least important of those among whom his ministry lay - this was an event to create a wide-spread sensation indeed. A sensation which seemed to suspend every other for the moment, and to make all the people in the place realise more forcibly than they had ever before realised it, how emphatic ally uncertain a possession is human life in the plains of Bengal.

Excerpt from The Question of Cain, Vol. 2 of 3 His own estimate, was his getting possession of the Old house and small park on which he had conferred the name of Horndean. The place had been known by another name for more than two centuries, and had many recollections and traditions connected with it, some of them worthy and lofty, others evil and mean, but there had come an end to the Old line and the old history. The last of the historic family to which the place had belonged had revived its evil and mean traditions in his own person during a. Long and worthless life that came to its fitting close in exile and contempt. No son of his succeeding to an inheritance which was simply one of debt and dis honour, the place was sold. Mr. Horndean bought it, and all who knew him at the time, and the neighbourhood who did not know him, supposed that now another of the fine old English country places would be turned into building-ground, and a vul.

Reprint of the original, first published in 1882.
Appearing together in English for the first time, two masterpieces that take on the jazz age, the Nuremburg trials, postwar commercialism, and the feat of writing a book, presented in one brilliant volume The Death of My Brother Abel and its delirious sequel, Cain, constitute the magnum opus of Gregor von Rezzori’s prodigious career, the most ambitious, extravagant, outrageous, and deeply considered achievement of this wildly original and never less than provocative master of the novel. In Abel and Cain, the original book, long out of print, is reissued in a fully revised translation; Cain appears for the first time in English. The Death of My Brother Abel zigzags across the middle of the twentieth century, from the 1918 to 1968, taking in the Jazz Age, the Anschluss, the Nuremberg trials, and postwar commercialism. At the center of the book is the unnamed narrator, holed up in a Paris hotel and writing a kind of novel, a collage of sardonic and passionate set pieces about love and work, sex and writing, families and nations, and human treachery and cruelty. In Cain, that narrator is revealed as Aristide Subics, or so at least it appears, since Subics’ identity is as unstable as the fictional apparatus that contains him and the times he lived through. Questions abound: How can a man who lived in a time of lies know himself? And is it even possible to tell the story of an era of lies truthfully? Primarily set in the bombed-out, rubble- strewn Hamburg of the years just after the war, the dark confusion and deadly confrontation and of Cain and Abel, inseparable brothers, goes on.

Excerpt from Cain, Vol. 1: A Poem, Intended to Be Published in Parts, Containing an Antidote to the Impiety and Blasphemy of Lord Byron's Cain; With Notes, &C If he disclaims having tempte Eve in the shape of the Serpent, it is only because the book of Genesis has not the most distant allusion to any thing of the kind, but merely to the Serpent in his serplentine capacity. Nola - The reader will erceive that t e author as partlyadopted in this poem the notion of Cuvier, that world had been destro cd' several times before the creation of man. This speculation, derived from the ifi'erent strata and the bones of enormous and unknown animals found in them, is not contrary to the Mosaic account, but rather confirms it; as no human bones have yet been discovered in those strata, although those of man known animals are found near the remains of the unknown. The assertion of ucifer, that the preadamite world was also peopled b rational beinfils much more intelligent ethan man, and prolpgitionabiy powerful the mammo &c. &c.
