NO highlighting. NO margin notes. The fourth and apparently final issue of this short-lived magazine in book form. Hardcover. It was edited by Jamaican-born Walter Adolphe Roberts (1886-1962), who also contributed to this issue a short editorial, a play (THE QUEEN'S TENT, pp. 62-80), an article (AL SMITH FOR PRESIDENT), and a book review. This issue is filled with short stories, poetry, and essays. Of special interest is Adolphe de Castro's 17-page essay, AMBROSE BIERCE AS HE REALLY WAS, AN INTIMATE ACCOUNT OF HIS LIFE AND DEATH.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Heat" is a compelling exploration of cultural friction and psychological disintegration set in Manila during the early years of the American occupation of the Philippines. Written with a keen eye for atmospheric detail, the novel delves into the lives of American expatriates and military officers as they navigate a landscape that is both beautiful and oppressive. The story follows the experiences of individuals caught between their Western sensibilities and the complex, centuries-old traditions of the local Spanish-Filipino society.At its heart, "Heat" is a character study that examines how the physical and social environment-the sweltering tropical climate and the isolation of colonial life-begins to erode the moral certainties of its protagonists. Isa Glenn masterfully portrays the subtle ways in which the atmosphere of the islands infiltrates the minds of the characters, leading to a sense of lethargy and eventual disillusionment. Through the protagonist's interactions with the local aristocracy and his fellow Americans, the work highlights the inevitable clashes that arise when two disparate worlds meet.This evocative novel serves as a significant literary window into the American colonial experience in Southeast Asia. Isa Glenn provides a sophisticated narrative that remains a powerful example of early 20th-century realism, focusing on the internal lives of those living on the fringes of an empire.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
