Publication Details: Arthur Barker, 1934

Notes: Scarce in the attractive dustjacket. Tweed was political advisor to David Lloyd George, and the present work - with its depiction of Central Europe under a pernicious dictatorship - offers a portrait of contemporary political tensions. Its narrative concerns the emergence of a messianic 'Healer', Johann Zimri, who suffers a tragic fate - the parallels with the story of Christ are declared by the author in a letter to his publisher printed on the rear panel of the dustjacket.
