THE WOMAN AND THE SEA
New York: Rae D. Henkle, 1934. First Edition. Hardcover. The first edition in English of this poweful study of a women's soul. Concepcion (Concha) Espina (1869-1955), often considered the first Spanish woman writer to earn her living exclusively from her writings, enjoyed tremendous popularity and was twice nominated for the Nobel Prize. Her novels, with their detailed descriptions, most nearly approach the regional prose as epitomized by Jose Maria de Pereda. Authorized Translation by Terrell Louise Tatum, with an Introduction by Ernest Boyd. Octavo. Original blue cloth binding, with silver titles. Previous owner's ink signature to the title page and front pastedown. Bookplate removed from the rear pastedown. The dust jacket is a bit edgeworn, with some shallow chipping to the spine head; otherwise very good. Very good / Very good. Item #70066
