Sobre este artículo
New York: The Viking Press (1959), 1959. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good+. 8vo. [9], 3-341, [1] pp. Orange cloth covered boards quarter bound in durable tan cloth with titling in black, silver, and orange. First issue with yellow topstain. Jacket is either married or second issue since although it has the correct price of $4.50 printed on the front flap it has quotes about the novel from Granville Hicks and Paul Pickrel on the rear panel (and we have seen correctly priced jackets that only show three blurbs about Bellow as a novelist). A very attractive copy of Bellow's fifth book. A Near Fine book in a Very Good+ jacket with a hint or two of edge wear and a trace of barely perceptible sunning to the spine panel, along with some foxing to the reverse.
Sinopsis
Saul Bellow evokes all the rich colors and exotic customs of a highly imaginary Africa in this acclaimed comic novel about a middle-aged American millionaire who, seeking a new, more rewarding life, descends upon an African tribe. Henderson’s awesome feats of strength and his unbridled passion for life win him the admiration of the tribe—but it is his gift for making rain that turns him from mere hero into messiah. A hilarious, often ribald story, Henderson the Rain King is also a profound look at the forces that drive a man through life.
