hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Dustjacket. 1st edition. New York. 1952. Simon & Schuster. 1st American Printing. Very Good. No Dustjacket. 245 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature South Africa Women. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Only a few of Nadine Gordimer's short stories had been published in America at this book's publication - in The New Yorker, The Yale Review, The Virginia Quarterly - but her work has received lavish praise from reviewers across the globe and also in South Africa where she lived and wrote her stories. In this, her first volume of short stories published in the U. S., Nadine Gordimer makes us see and understand the unmistakable setting and origin of her own people - the native servant haunted by ambition to educate her children, the performance of a Wilde play before a stunned audience of Bantu people. Though the details and the human material are, in most cases, clearly South African in origin, yet always the people who are brought to sudden, startling life are universal. We may encounter them, their problems, and the incidents that form the pattern of their lives almost anywhere. One powerful theme runs through all Miss Gordimer's stories: the sense that people's exteriors, their faces, expressions, utterances, are totally unrevealing of the real persons beneath. The short stories include: Is There Nowhere Else We Can Meet; The Soft Voice of the Serpent; Ah Woe Is Me; The Catch; The Train from Rhodesia; A Bit of Young Life; Six Feet of the Country; Which New Era Would That Be; Enemies; Happy Event; The Smell of Death and Flowers; Friday's Footprint; The Night the Favourite Came Home; The Bridegroom; The Last Kiss; The Gentle Art; Something for the Time Being; A Company of Laughing Faces; Not for Publication; A Chip of Glass Ruby; Good Climate Friendly Inhabitants; The African Magician; Some Monday for Sure; Abroad; Livingstone's Companions; An Intruder; Open House; Rain Queen; No Place Like; The Life of the Imagination; and Africa Emergent. inventory #16432.

Soft Cover Colour Printed Cove. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 4th Edition. ### The Soft Voice of the Serpent - No.1749 - 1962 - A Penguin Book ### ~#~ THIS BOOK: Classified as GOOD: This book is a 1962 Penguin Publication. Orange and White softcover, in a good condition considering its age. Some minor shelf wear to the heel and some bumping, cover has a few black marks. As with most of the early post WWII books, the page edges are discoloured due to quality of paper, No Foxing, cover has a slight crease. ## ### These twenty-one short stories ? packed as it were, with feeling made visual ? are by the distinguished South African writer, Nadine Gordimer. When they were first published the critics were not slow to recognize in her a genuine discovery. 'There is wonderful talent at work here', wrote Margaret Lane in the Observer, and George Malcolm Thomson spoke of 'a new, deeply original talent' in the Evening Standard. ## She seems to apply the ear of a musician, the eye of an artist, and the sensitivity of a poet to these verbal sketches of little but significant events, played in front of a brilliantly lighted South African backdrop. They evoke the sensations of a moment in the reader's mind with uncanny power. ### ~#~ YOU MAY FIND THIS INTERESTING: Penguin Books is a British publishing house. It was co-founded in 1935 by Sir Allen Lane with his brothers Richard and John, as a line of the publishers The Bodley Head, only becoming a separate company the following year. Penguin revolutionised publishing in the 1930s through its inexpensive paperbacks, sold through Woolworths and other high street stores for sixpence, bringing high-quality fiction and non-fiction to the mass market. Its success showed that large audiences existed for serious books. It also had a significant impact on public debate in Britain through its books on culture, politics, the arts, and science. ~#~ #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.
