Boston. 1978. Houghton Mifflin. 1st Printing. Very Good in Slightly Won Dustjacket . 0395263115. 331 pages. hardcover. Jacket drawing by the author. keywords: Ecuador Autobiography America. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Here is the memorable story of a fifty-three-year-old white American, an ex-Peace Corps Volunteer, who keeps a promise he made to a poor, uneducated black friend twenty years his junior. A year after leaving the Peace Corps, Moritz Thomsen returned to Ecuador to join Ramon Prado in hacking a farm out of the jungle. This is the story of their struggles against the tropics: against year-long rains and longer droughts, crops that rot, markets that evaporate, exuberant weeds that pull their houses apart, and, underlying everything else, the shattering poverty that twists decent human beings into monstrous shapes. It is also the story of the confrontation of two radically different cultures; and the failure of illusion. Nonetheless, Thomsen chronicles his and Ramon's labors with wry hit morand…

Description:
Indianapolis: Dog Ear Publishing, January 2013. Trade Paperback. Fine. Slight reading wear to corners, otherwise pristine. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Not damaged. Suitable for gifting. 163 pages. The 25 authors of this book were volunteers in the first Peace Corps rural community development project in Africa: Sierra Leone, 1965-67. They are also the first group to tell a collective story of Peace Corps volunteers, anywhere. The Peace Corps was in its infancy then, and memories of John Kennedy were strong among the young volunteers. Sierra Leone was also in its infancy in the first few years after independence, before military coups and tribal warfare became common. The authors forthrightly recount their feelings of loneliness and isolation, and their frightening experiences with secret societies and witchcraft, but their uniquely optimistic "can-do" American attitude brought most through a great life experience.
