Publisher: Farrar &
Rinehart, Incorporated, 1941
First English Edition
Translated from the Spanish by Harriet de Onis
440 pages -- approx. size: 8.5" by 6" by 2"
Ciro Alegria writes with passion and inspiration of things which he has seen and known. His language is simple and direct, his story is touched with the universality and human wisdom that make enduring literature in any country and in any language.
The simple story can be the story of any community anywhere trying to conduct itself along the paths of truth, vision, and mutual well-being, and forced to fight for its life against the malignant forces of evil oppression and greed which suddenly seem to be loosed in such overwhelming numbers. And the outcome of the struggle, the final peace, lies only in the hand of God.
Original hardcover with original dust jacket. The jacket inside and covers show the appearance of water soiling. Unfortunate. BUT, the book interior is nice and untouched. No staining or harm. This does not have an odor and is still an excellent read and wonderful addition to any library. The jacket shows edgewear as can be seen in photos.
Feel free to email any questions that you may have prior to purchase. I do offer shipping discounts for multi item purchases.
Thanks for stopping in!
