Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condizione: Muy bueno. Condizione sovraccoperta: Muy bueno. Esta edición de Espasa-Calpe Argentina, S. A., publicada en Buenos Aires/México en 1949, forma parte de la reconocida Colección Austral, una de las series más apreciadas por investigadores y bibliófilos por su papel en la difusión de literatura de viajes, pensamiento y humanidades en la posguerra hispanoamericana. Las seis mil barbas de Athos es un testimonio singularísimo: el relato de viaje de Ralph H. Brewster al Monte Athos, territorio monástico ortodoxo vedado históricamente a la mayoría de los peregrinos occidentales. El libro combina crónica, observación etnográfica y un humor contenido que lo vuelve una pieza memorable dentro del género. La traducción de León Mirlás conserva el tono original y permite que el lector se acerque, casi sensorialmente, a los monasterios, skites y aldeas monásticas que el autor recorrió. Esta edición incluye mapa impreso del Monte Athos, elemento fundamental para la comprensión del itinerario narrado y muy buscado por coleccionistas, ya que suele perderse con facilidad en los ejemplares circulantes. El volumen pertenece a la etapa más sólida de Austral en la Argentina, con buen papel, impresión nítida y una cubierta de época que mantiene la gráfica característica del sello: sobria, moderna y perfectamente reconocible para el coleccionismo del siglo XX.
