In den WarenkorbZustand: GOOD. First US printing. Uncommon first edition of the first novel in his American Tryptich, a story of the last days of the Maya and one which gives a "vivid picture of the impact of two great civilisations upon each other. Guerrero was a Spanish soldier, shipwrecked on the shores of Yucatan. Years later the Spaniards…came as conquerors - but by this time Guerrero was a prince, had married a king's daughter, and would be a spearhead of resistance to the white-skinned invaders from the west. [This] is Guerrero's story - that of a man who found where his true loyalties lay, and pursued them to their inevitable end." The Telegraph called it "A strange, outlandish, fearsomely intelligent novel." 224 pp. Good in beige cloth in a good dust jacket (a tight copy with clean covers but some crlnkling to the upper edge of the textblock in a dj with some rubbing, chips and wear to the ends of the spine).
