Sobre este artículo
Boston: An Atlantic Monthly Press Book,Little Brown, (1962), 1962. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. Hardcover. First Edition by the O. Henry Memorial Award and National Book Award winning author of Flowering Judas and Pale Horse, Pale Rider. Porter's mastery of the art of the short story garnered her a Pulitzer Prize for the Collected Short Stories Of Kathe rine Anne Porter. The intricacies of her style, form and language inspired novelist Robert Penn Warren to write a collection of critical essays on Porter's work. Ship Of Fools, a riveting novel set on the brink of World War ll, explores both the f r aililties and glories of humanity. Brilliantly translated into film with the superb casting of Vivien Leigh, Simone Signoret, Lee Marvin and Oskar Werner, Porter saw her work win two Oscars. 8vo. 497 pp. A fine copy in dustwrapper showing very li g h t use. An unusually attractive copy.
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.
