1955 Book Club edition; some bumping to spine ends, bit of yellowing to pastedowns, partial sticker on fep; Jacket is Fair - considerable edge wear and rubbing with small tears along the edges; This tontine (a 19th century combo of lottery, life insurance and last-man's club) starts on the day of Waterloo and ends as the century draws to a close. The drama touches royalty and millionaires, actresses and sailors, planters and portrait painters. It ranges from London to the Caribbean, driven by a world in high gear, a world powered by greed. But time flies by. Three survivors wait each other out. Then two, and at last, only one. . .a winner with everything but a future.
