London: Victor Gollancz Ltd, 1957.

First edition of du Maurier’s classic work, adapted into the 1959 film of the same name starring Sir Alec Guinness. Octavo, bound in full morocco to mimic a gentleman’s coat with five buttons. In near fine condition.

The Scapegoat concerns an Englishman who meets his double, a French aristocrat, while visiting France, and is forced into changing places with him. The Englishman is a single, rather lonely academic, and finds himself caught up in all the intrigues and passions of his double's complex family.
