Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. 1st Edition. A tourist couple unwittingly triggers the deep-rooted racism of a sleepy Southern town ("On the River Styx").A burned-out U.S. intelligence operative struggles violently and in vain to find himself again in his own country ("Lumumba Lives").A hunter tracking a gray wolf is himself hunted by death in a desert wasteland ("The Wolves of Aguila").How a vindictive husband deals with a captured snapping turtle makes a woman realize the torment of her existence ("Late in the Season"). Spanning more than three decades of Peter Matthiessen's extraordinarily productive and diverse literary career, these ten tales reflect the virtuosity of one of the most distinctive and important voices of our time. "With his first novel," wrote "The New York Times" upon publication of "Race Rock" in 1954, "Matthiessen assumes immediate place as a writer of disciplined craft, perception, imaginative vigor and serious temperament.He commands also a gift of flexible taut expression which takes wings at times into a lyricism beautifully modulated and controlled." That early promise has been more than fulfilled by Matthiessen's subsequent novels, including the widely acclaimed " At Play in the Fields of the Lord and For Tortuga", which have joined the ranks of modern classics. This remarkable collection will certainly confirm Matthiessen's stature as a superb craftsman of contemporary fiction. Deftly plotted and exquisitely rendered, these are stories that will endure. Moreover, readers will recognize in them the themes and motifs that reverberate through "The Snow Leopard" (winner of the National Book Award), the haunting "Men's Lives", and his many other works of nonfiction: the brutality of nature--and the surpassing brutality of man, its desecrator; the anatomy of bigotry and the outrage of the oppressed; the compulsion to do violence and the inexorability of retribution; the sacrifice of innocence and the resurgence of hope. Those who have long admired Matthiessen's fiction will be awed anew at his force and range, and newcomers will find much to dazzle and disturb them in this powerful collection. There is a tear to the book jacket and some smudging to the front of the book jacket. The book has rough deckled page edges. The price has been cut off from the corner of the book jacket flap.…
