About this Item

[1965]. Fine in a Very Good dustjacket. Beige cloth with a black cloth backstrip. Both the spine and the decorative front panel are stamped in gilt. Octavo. Red topstain. 373pps. Stated First Printing. An excellent copy: clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. No previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, is sun-darkened (as is common) -- particularly along the spine panel -- and has a couple of closed tears and shallow chipping along the top edge; the original price (5.95) is intact. Nominated for the National Book Award and the basis for the acclaimed 1991 film directed by Hector Babenco. ".The setting of this wild, beautiful and haunting novel is the Amazon jungle, at once majestic and malevolent; the principle characters are four fundamentalist missionaries and a soldier of fortune; and the plot concerns their fanatical conflict over the fate of a primitive and dangerous tribe of jungle Indians."
