New York. 1962. December 1962. Signet/New American Library. 1st Signet Classic Paperback Edition. Very Slight Trace Of A Small Water Stain At The Bottom Rear, Otherwise Very Good in Wrappers. Translated From The Spanish By Anthony & Elaine Kerrigan. Foreword by Anthony Kerrigan. 330 pages. paperback. CT149. Cover: James Hill. keywords: Signet Classic Paperback Spain Translated Literature. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Pio Baroja was one of Spain's chief contributions to the European and world novel in the first half of the twentieth century-a novelist who, according to Jose Ortega y Gasset, 'furnishes us an example of the genius of independence in the midst of a society like our own, where everything is compromise and surrender. ' Baroja's heroes are men who do not conform. Vagabonds, adventurers, dreamers, they pit themselves against the power of nature and a society that would corrupt them. Shanti Andia is a wanderer torn by shifting allegiance to his beloved Basque country and to the sea. He idolizes his uncle Juan de Aguirre, a dead sea captain whose mysterious, seemingly aimless, voyages have made him, a village myth. In Shanti's efforts to decipher his uncle's past there unfolds a hazardous drama of Basque seamen trapped on a slave ship, of a mutiny, capture, imprisonment, and a desperate rendezvous with stolen gold. It is this search for his uncle's destiny that eventually leads Shanti to find himself. In a conversation between Ernest Hemingway and Pio Baroja, reported in TIME, the American writer is quoted as saying: 'Allow me to pay this small tribute to you who taught so much to those of us who wanted to be writers, yet received a Nobel Prize, especially when it was given to so many who deserved it less, like me, who am only an adventurer. ' Baroja's reply: 'Caramba! ' inventory #32361.
