About This Item

Denver, Colorado: Alan Swallow, 1957. SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION. 89/200. "This special subscription printing of the First Edition for friends of Vardis Fisher is two hundred signed and numbered copies of which this is number 89 for ___Vardis Fisher." NUMBERED AND SIGNED in blue ink. "Peace Like a River plunges the reader into one of the most amazing developments of the human spirit--the extremes of Christian asceticism, the quest of sainthood through rejection of the physical, rejection of woman because she embodied evil, rejection of the devil in the flesh. Harab is determined to become the greatest saint of all. He seeks out the desert, where marvelous acts of asceticism have been performed. For a time, he is at a loss to find a way to outdo these great saints. Finally, Hareb decides on a plan to confound them all. He will visit the greatest courtesan and in defying her wiles will prove his saintliness. He fails...but in a last, horrible act he attains his goal." A very good copy in dust jacket. Clean and tight with crisp text.. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Dust Jacket Very Good in Mylar.
