Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Edition.

A human story of 3,000 people who found a strange happiness in a town cut off from the world by mountain and sea, drenched with coastal rains, choked with sulphurous smelter gas, bereft of grass or flowers and buried each winter in snow." - dust jacket. 111 pages including black and white photographic plates.
