Hardcover. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. 184 pages. A young adult novel. First edition (first printing). Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Inscribed by the author to a previous owner on the title page. Jo Harper s exquisite tale of an Aztec youth who crosses the Rio Grande with Salvador, his simple but intuitive cousin, weaves Aztec legend, culture, and tonali (fate) into a poignant tapestry of illegal immigration, indomitability, and the precarious promise of a new life.Besides his native Nahuatl, sixteen-year-old Delfino speaks Spanish, which he learned working in Mexico City. He is driven to help his married sister, who at eighteen seems too small and frail to survive her pregnancy. Teresa has lost one child, and Delfino knows Teresa s chance to have her baby in a hospital depends upon his crossing the river from Mexico into Texas, the land of promise.Achingly drawn, Harper s characters fill a harsh world with loving and gentle sensibilities. A masterful story of suspense and triumph.".

Condition: MOLTO BUONO. NOTA:Esemplare con dedica autografa dell'Artista. / Firenze, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale cm.22,5x29, pp.72, illustrato a colori. legatura editoriale cartonata con sopraccoperta figurata a colori. «Acqueforti e Trittico del delfino: due documenti fedeli della personalità di Fidolini, un artista di alto livello. Di per sé bastanti a illuminarne il carattere. Ma c'è una dichiarazione di metodo critico adottata ed espressa in un suo saggio d'arte (Fidolini è anche apprezzabile scrittore) che può sintetizzare la sua figura umana ed estetica. Egli scrive infatti di perseguire la ricerca di quelle vicende artistiche che, in qualche modo, abbiano espresso una reale coscienza critica di uomini agli uomini, di cose terrene, di testimonianze partecipi e accorate, di ingiurie e di soprusi, di amore e di morte. Insomma di palpiti umani. Par quasi un autoritratto, e in fondo lo è, se la parola e il giudizio hanno la virtù e la responsabilità di figurare la mente e lo spirito.». (E. Natali). Firenze, Forte Belvedere. A cura di Claudio di Benedetto.
