From the Back Cover
"The dozen stories in this...collection may be the literary testament of one of the most skilled but least prolific writers of the twentieth century.... The characters are large, heroic figures and they are brought to earth with a resounding crash. Such men and women are rare in contemporary fiction: the art to make them live vitally...as Dinesen does...is rarer still." -- Time
"A writer with a powerful imagination and a shrewd intelligence."
-- The New York Times Book Review

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. First edition, Second Printing. Tales from ALBONDOCANI. Bright & tight Good copy, unread, shows slight fading, jacket shows shelfwear, water-stains, slight corner tears, clipped price, nicely wrapped in archival mylar; erstwhile remainder has little red Random House stamp on book block's tail. "Now after a long silence one of the greatest and least-prolific of modern writers replies to her readers' demands for a new book. In her brilliant and ineffable style, she offers again the enchantments, the ironies, the unexpected revelations of her own created world. But she offers something in a new tone as well: seven tales (one the prologue and one the epilogue) from a novel, Albondocani, which has occupied her for many years. Here are exchanges of dialogue in dazzling epigrams, demonic questioning and angelic doubts; here are shown human beings slightly larger than life, of highly crystallized natures, and of an almost legendary intensity." [jacket copy] Quite presentable in a gothic-book way. Seller Inventory # RUB1319
