Sobre este artículo
London: Macmillan, 1965. First edition. Hardcover, 329. Green cloth binding is clean, some spotting on book edge. Dust jacket in near fine condition. Named after the former checkpoint between the Israeli and Jordanian sectors of Jerusalem, The Mandelbaum Gate won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1965. The story of a Jewish-Catholic man on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and Barbara Vaughan, a "half London Jewish Catholic convert" (Spark herself was a Catholic convert, her father was Jewish and her mother was Anglican) who is trying to locate her Dead-Sea scrolls archaeologist fiance, and has been warned she is in some danger due to her heritage. There's abduction, espionage, murder! Everything distrubing and often wickedly funny. A favourite of Anthony Burgess.
