Sobre este artículo
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1981. At the end of WW II James Herndon, alias One-eye, the Explorer, shipped around the world as a merchant marine. Sorrowless Times is the narrative of his voyage: waking up in Panama City with a tatoo, swimming the Pacfic on a bet, escaping a crazed, axe weilding mate, facing a squadron of Japanese bombers. This often hilarious book is an elegy to a lost time - a work of memory in tribute to a magical, fleeting moment when everything still seemed possible. This wonderfully resourceful book is always on target, whether describing the feel of jazz in the 1940's, the banter of wartime sailors, or the musings of a young man on his own. Brown boards with matching brown endpapers, blue cloth spine. No ownership marking. The book carries a remainder mark to top edge. Book is tight and bright with that "new" feel in the photo illustrated dust jacket. A nice copy.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
