Translated from the French by Leonard Thomas. 204 pages. hardcover. Cover: Anne Marie Jauss. keywords: Literature Translated Haiti Caribbean Black. FROM THE PUBLISHER - The pencil of God writes hard and fast when it writes; and the Haitians say the pencil of God has no eraser. This is a novel of the strange half-lit world which exists in Haiti between the church and continued on back nap continued from front flap voodoo, and of a simple devout man, Dioghe Cyprien, a small warehouse owner, whose weakness is an everlasting and virile love of the ladies. In his last fling, the very dissimulation and craftiness which he has used to attain his heart's desire is boomeranged back to him by his love's old female relatives, who place a voodoo curse on him. His life becomes a series of freak disasters - tongues clack in the provincial, small-town atmosphere of Saint-Marc. The gossip that he is a were wolf, a fiend, a consort of evil spirits, at first a whisper, becomes a deafening roar. Like a swimmer pulled by the tide between the sharks and the reefs, Diogbne is pulled between the church and voodoo. The curse is the curse of gossip and suspicion, which can be as effective in Boston or New York or anywhere else as it is in Haiti. inventory #8510 Previous Owner's Name Penned in Front,Otherwise Good in Worn Dustjacket With Pieces Missing.

hardcover. 1st edition. New York. 1946. Rinehart. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket W/A Scuff Mark At The Top Of The Spine . Translated by Peter C. Rhodes. 210 pages. hardcover. . keywords: Literature Translated Haiti Caribbean Black. FROM THE PUBLISHER - In THE BEAST OF THE HAITIAN HILLS Philippe Thoby-Marcelin and Pierre Marcelin have created a tale of violence as well as charm, and the story is always strong and frequently terrifying. Morin Dutrilleul was a city man who went to the country to live. He was not superstitious, he did not believe the old legends and felt calmly superior to the peasants who did. To prove his point he cut down the tree at whose foot the sacrifices to the local gods had always been left. From that point on the story rises in a crescendo of fear; fear by the peasants of the Cigouave, the beast of the hills, fear by Morin of his growing belief in the old legends and the horrible activities of the old gods. The victim of rum and superstition, Morin does not escape the climax of violence and terror with which the book ends. inventory #25563 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket W/A Scuff Mark At The Top Of The Spine.

hardcover. Condizione: Very Good in Dustjacket. 1st edition. New York. 1970. Farrar Straus Giroux. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. Introduction by Edmund Wilson. Translated from the Haitian French by Eva Thoby-Marcelin. 179 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Catherine Smolich. keywords: Literature Translated Haiti Caribbean Black. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Although ALL MEN ARE MAD is the fourth novel by the Marcelin brothers to be published in English, these Haitian writers have yet to receive the recognition they deserve. As early as 1949 Edmund Wilson wrote that 'These books of the Marcelins are distinguished performances. They deal with difficult subjects - material that is controversial in Haiti and unfamiliar abroad; and presenting them, without sentimentality or by political melodrama and with no explicit comment, they bring out in them a human poignancy that is communicated to readers anywhere.' ALL MEN ARE MAD, although fiction, is based on an episode in recent Haitian history. In 1942, during the regime of President Elie Lescot, the Catholic Church attempted to abolish vodou, the native religion that had merged several Catholic saints into its original pantheon of African spirits. The result, as depicted by the Marcelins, was a disaster for both sides. In his introduction Wilson writes: 'The special plight of the Haitians is made to extend a perspective to the miseries and futilities of the whole human race, to our bitter 'ideological' conflicts and our apparently pointless ambitions. ALL MEN ARE MAD is a very entertaining but also troubling book, and it is a most distinguished work of literature.'. (original title: Tous les Hommes Sont Fous). inventory #6980.
