Lindsay's fourth published novel, 'Adventures of Monsieur de
Mailly' was first published in 1926 in the UK and released in the
US rather inappropriately as 'Blade for Sale' in the same year.
'Adventures of Monsieur de Mailly' is a humorous adventure set in
the France of Louis XIV. Possibly the lightest and least
fantastical of David Lindsay's novels, this romp through the realm
of the Sun King nevertheless contains moments of high tragedy and
tantalising glimpses of Lindsay's fascinating philosophy. Monsieur
Gaston de Mailly is a soldier, an adventurer and, above all, a
gentleman, trying to combat a disgraceful poverty in the year 1700,
in a France where social norms are rapidly changing. An exciting
adventure in its own right, this is a book no David Lindsay devotee
will want to be without.
