The Bells, the debut novel
A flat-signed first edition, first printing of The Bells, the debut novel by Richard Harvell. Published in hardcover by Random House Canada in 2010, this copy bears Harvell’s non-personalized signature on the title page and retains its illustrated dust jacket. The complete number line ending in 1 confirms the first printing.
Set in eighteenth-century Switzerland and Vienna, the novel follows Moses Froben, a boy born in an Alpine belfry with an extraordinary sensitivity to sound and a remarkable singing voice. His gift carries him from the Abbey of St. Gall into the demanding world of the castrati and the musical culture of Mozart-era Europe. Harvell’s historical novel explores music, identity, love, sacrifice, and the beauty and danger of exceptional talent.
The hardcover and dust jacket are in Very Good condition. Disclosed condition points include page toning, deckle-edge pages, visible wear around the dust-jacket edges and spine ends, and a small previous-owner name in blue ink on the front free endpaper. The previous-owner name is separate from the author’s signature and is not an inscription by Richard Harvell.
Please check all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description. The book will be packaged carefully to help protect the dust jacket and signed title page in transit.
