Sobre este artículo
Ship of Fools is a famous novel by the American journalist, author and essayist Katherine Anne Porter (1990-1980). While Porter is acclaimed for her short stories, Ship of Fools was the best-selling novel in North America in its year of publication, 1962. In 1965, it was made into an Oscar-winning film starring Vivien Leigh, Jose Ferrer, Lee Marvin and Simone Signoret.
It is about a group of disparate characters sailing from Mexico to Europe aboard a German passenger ship. The book was published by Little Brown & the Atlantic Monthly Press in 1962. This is a first printing of that issue.
It is yellow boards, with black lettering on the cover and spine. The dust jacket is a little battered, just on the spine. But it has done its job and the book is absolutely pristine, with no marks or damage of any kind, inside or out.

Sinopsis
Ship of Fools was published in 1962, but takes place in the summer of 1931, on a cruise ship bound for Germany. It's diverse passengers include a noble Spanish woman, a drunken German lawyer, an American divorcee, and a pair of Catholic priests from Mexico, not to mention the disposable masses who are riding in the steerage. The story is all about the characters, these real, dishonest, selfish people that we all know, and their interactions on this voyage.
