Text block pristine. Jacket clean, but clipped with chipping around the spine head. Small octavo. 136 pages. This is a rare first edition of the second novel by Guyanese writer Wilson Harris. It is the second in Harris' Guyana Quartet. Set against a background of swamp, jungle and savanna in nineteenth century British Guiana, the novel centers on the community of indentured East Indians brought to Guiana to labor on the sugar plantations. A strange drama is played out in which the chief characters are the money-lender Ram - an evil, presiding genius - the illegitimate Beti whom all men desire, and Oudin the beggar who works for several masters and belongs to none. Focusing on the traumatizing effects of slavery on West Indian society, the novel depicts how the new-found freedoms and perceived social progress experienced by former peasants mask the fact that the old master-slave structure is reasserting itself among the descendants of an exploited people.
