Translated from the Portuguese by Pamela G. Bird. 157 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Guy Fleming. keywords: Latin America Brazil Literature Translated. DESCRIPTION - To celebrate the first appearance in English of the work of one of Brazil's leading writers of fiction, this novel is published simultaneously with a collection of Jose J. Veiga's short stories, THE MISPLACED MACHINE AND OTHER STORIES. IN THE THREE TRIALS OF MANIREMA - a mysterious, puzzling tale; perfectly told - a small town is stricken by the strangest of plagues: the sudden visitation, nearby, of silent, self-sufficient men. No one knows who the strangers are, where they came from, or what they want. But with every passing day something unaccountable happens. The once-carefree town is overcome with tension as the carter, the storekeeper, the blacksmith, a courting couple are victimized. Confused and frightened, some people become secretive, some taciturn. A few stand their ground in the face of pressure and provocation, but most bend or reverse their values. Then, from the strangers' campsite, packs of howling dogs spread through the streets and gardens, invading houses, chasing down inhabitants. They bark, snarl, and whine for days. When, as if by magic, the dogs disappear, hundreds of plundering oxen descend upon the town. Houses are besieged, residents corralled, the land and air poisoned with excrement. Suddenly - as if obeying a silent order - they disappear. Dogs, oxen, the townspeople's self-destructive reaction: Are the mysterious strangers responsible? Are the animal invaders mere instruments of oppression or are they the men themselves in another guise? No one knows, and no one knows why the visitors themselves leave as suddenly and unpredictably as they arrived. A novel or an apologue? The reader must decide. inventory #7452.…

hardcover. Condizione: Very Good in Dustjacket. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. New York. 1970. August 1970. Knopf. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. Translated from the Portuguese by Pamela G. Bird. 143 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Guy Fleming. keywords: Latin America Brazil Literature Translated. DESCRIPTION - The narratives that make up THE MISPLACED MACHINE AND OTHER STORIES combine the element of terror with refining touches of tenderness, lightness, and lyricism. Some are poignant, some macabre, some ironically funny, but all imaginatively interweave mystery and fantasy with reality. A peddler enters a town where a wolf is being tortured, is inexplicably coerced to stay the night, and dies in the squalid stable of his captor. An Indian boy, taken to live with a white family, is abused and made the village slave; he is jailed for a trivial incident, forgotten, and then shot one holiday as he walks out of the open jail door. A widowed father parts with his son. A rich schoolboy's affair with a soldier's mistress is comically thwarted. Two children speculate on their appearance in the eyes of a huge creature. A small boy's fantasy about the beasts of the forest is contrasted with harsh reality. A painstakingly built highway is abandoned because of an unkillable rooster who leads to their death all who travel it. An old dog is jealous of a puppy - he eats it - but is haunted forever after. A strange machine is delivered by mistake to the center of a small town; no one knows what it is or how it works, but its very mystery makes it an object of worship. A small boy ponders the meaning of death as it occurs on the farm. Everywhere in these sensitive tales an ingenious storyteller comments on some of the enduring agonies of the human condition: jealousy, fear, death, brutality, and the haunted mind. inventory #7123.…
