Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 5th printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Very Good condition. "One April morning the Lillias Eden, a decrepit schooner, leaves its home port of Grand Cayman for the green-turtle fishing grounds on the reefs and cays of the southwest Caribbean. Her captain is Raib Avers, who dominates the pages of this book in the same headlong way that he dominates the ship; besides his sixteen-year-old son, his crew of seven are a makeshift lot from Honduras, Colombia, and the Caymans, whose skin colors range from near-white to black. [] In the course of the doomed voyage, legends and sea tales--mythic fishing captains, hurricanes, wrecks, witchcraft, island lore--surface briefly, then sink away, but the elements of this harsh livelihood are always palpable: the wind, the ocean birds, the immense sea. [] In a spare, poetic prose that compliments the starkness of the seascape--the gaunt reefs, the faded schooner, the turtle men themselves, worn bare by wind and water--Peter Matthiessen has evoked, 'like a memory in the ocean emptiness,' a lost world that will long reverberate in the reader's mind." [jacket copy] "With its strange and haunting locutions, FAR TORTUGA will certainly point the way that the English-speaking sensibility must and should go, from this book on. It is the way of passionate impressionism; Matthiessen is creating our new vision. A beautiful and moving novel that will not be forgotten by anyone lucky enough to read it."--James Dickey. "I've enjoyed everything I've ever read by Matthiessen, and this novel is Matthiessen at his best--a masterfully spun yarn, a little otherworldly, a dreamlike momentum . . . It's full of music and strong haunting visuals, and like everything of his, it's also a deep declaration of love for the planet. I wish him and it all kinds of fortune."--Thomas Pynchon. "Peter Matthiessen's most beautiful book. It goes very deep, with endless subtleties--there's a feeling all the time of its being written by the sea. A wonderful creation."--Eleanor Clark. "A wonderful tone poem about man, the sea and destiny--unique, a real original, and enormously haunting. A work of great beauty that deserves everything."--William Styron. VG pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & mostly tight binding (slightly cocked pages), wrapped in a handsome & intact (yet no printed price) VG jacket covered in archival mylar. Quite presentable.
