    hardcover, 9 1/2" x 6 1/2", with dust jacket 334 pages Red cloth-bound boards with gold title to spine and spiral logo impressed to front, uncut fore-edges. This is the first appearance in English of the critically acclaimed Brazilian writer Osmans Lins with 'Avalovara', a modern epic on a grand scale. A rich and lyrical novel of Abel, a Brazilian who seeks Paradise through his courtship of three women. It has a prophetic, puzzle-like architecture whose unraveling has its own satisfactions beyond the wonders of the tale itself. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket.
