Descripción del artículo del vendedor

375 pages. Cover faded. Text tannedOne of the twentieth century's great undisputed masterpieces, Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano includes an introduction by Michael Schmidt in Penguin Modern Classics. It is the fiesta 'Day of the Dead' in the small Mexican town of Quauh nahuac. In the shadow of the volcano, ragged children beg coins to buy skulls ma de of chocolate, ugly pariah dogs roam the streets and Geoffrey Firmin - ex-cons ul, ex-husband, an alcoholic and a ruined man - is living out the last day of hi s life. Drowning himself in mescal while his former wife and half-brother look o n, powerless to help him, the consul has become an enduring tragic figure. As th e day wears on, it becomes apparent that Geoffrey must die. It is his only escap e from a world he cannot understand. His story, the image of one man's agonised journey towards Calvary, became a prophetic book for a whole generation. Malcolm Lowry (1909-1957) was born and died in England. Between school and studying Eng lish at St Catherine's College, Cambridge he spent five months at sea as a deckh and, an experience which gave him the material for his first novel, Ultramarine (1933). After marrying in Paris, he moved to New York where he completed In Ball ast to the White (1936). Under The Volcano was begun in Hollywood, coloured by a short stay in the Mexico that it describes, and eventually finished in Dollarto n, British Columbia. If you enjoyed Under the Volcano, you might like F. Scott F itzgerald's The Beautiful and the Damned, also available in Penguin Classics. 'A Faustian masterpiece' Anthony Burgess.…
