About This Item
New York, N.Y.: Henry Holt & Co, 1994. 1st Edition 1st Printing ; full # line. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. *First Printing (full-#-line).* Fine copy, whistle-clean inside and out, unmarked, gently read. DJ is also fine, made from a paper-plastic combination that is semi-transparent and shows the gold-stamped compass design from the white board underneath. A very handsome and protective dj. From back of dj: "Like a morality play, the quest for El Dorado illuminates the darkest corners of the European character and culture. With graceful prose, a fine intelligence, and a vivid sense of landscape, Stephen Minta retraces the insane voyage of Lope de Aguirre -- self-styled wrath of God -- from the Andes to the Amazon and a hell of his own making. A timeless story, beautifully told." -- Ronald Wright, author of 'Stolen Continent.' Also from dj back: "Aguirre's story is as timeless as 'Heart of Darknes,', and Minta tells it brilliantly." -- Nicholas Lezard, 'The Independent (London).
