Pilgrim

by Timothy Findley

Pilgrim by acclaimed Canadian author Timothy Findley, issued by HarperFlamingoCanada in 1999. This is the first Canadian hardcover edition and first printing, confirmed by the complete hardcover number line ending in 1. The book is accompanied by its original dust jacket and has deckled-edge pages.

Findley’s psychologically rich historical novel follows Pilgrim, a mysterious man who appears unable to die despite repeated attempts to end his life. Confined to a Zurich clinic in 1912 and treated by Carl Gustav Jung, he recounts extraordinary experiences spanning centuries, drawing the novel into questions of identity, memory, mortality, art, and the nature of the human psyche. Pilgrim was shortlisted for the 1999 Giller Prize.

This copy is signed by Timothy Findley in blue ink on the title page. The printed author name has been crossed through as part of the signing, and no dedication is visible.

Very Good overall, with the dust jacket present. The book has deckled page edges and age-related page toning, along with light shelf and edge wear to the jacket. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description. The book will be packaged carefully for protection in transit.
