About This Item
Little, Brown & Co, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A, 1980. Second Printing. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. 500 g; XII, 312 pages, includes a list of works by Cervantes, a selected bibliography, and an index. In original illustrated dust jacket. The dust jacket is of that particular type of buff paper that picks up handling marks the minute you look at it. It has no protective glaze, so the spine section and the fold over creases slightly grubby. Otherwise in it and the book are in very good condition. "In this significant new biography, Melveena McKendrick unfolds the dramatic hidden life of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, one of the world's greatest writers and the creative genius behind Don Quixote. Cervantes would never have imagined that one day he would be the subject of this painstaking triumph of literary detection, a balanced elucidation of his 68 difficult, despairing, often disillusioned years. -- front fold over blurb Size: 12mo (Small Hardcover).
