First edition of this outstanding Haitian novel which tells of Manuel's struggle to keep his little community from starvation during drought. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the translator Langston Hughes in the year of publication on the front free endpaper, "For Michael Alexander- Sincerely, Langston Hughes New York, Sept. 12, 1947. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Translated by Langston Hughes and Mercer Cook. The genre of the peasant novel in Haiti reaches back to the nineteenth century and this is one of the outstanding examples. Manuel returns to his native village after working on a sugar plantation in Cuba only to discover that it is stricken by a drought and divided by a family feud. He attacks the resignation endemic among his people by preaching the kind of political awareness and solidarity he has learned in Cuba. He goes on to illustrate his ideas in a tangible way by finding water and bringing it to the fields through the collective labor of the villagers. In this political fable, Roumain is careful to create an authentic environment and credible characters.

180 pp. 8vo. First edition. First edition. 180 pp. 8vo. Inscribed on the ffep: "For Noël Sincerely, Langston. New York, June, 1947." Hughes met Noël Sullivan in May 1932 while on a lecture tour, and the two developed a very close friendship. "The man and all he stood for endeared him to Hughes, and for a quarter of a century he was the poet's most trusted confidant. [.] as close a friend as any relative Hughes ever had." (Berry, Faith, Before & Beyond Harlem: A Biography of Langston Hughes, p. 149-150). This was a two-way street, as "Hughes's immediate impact on Noël Sullivan wasdramatic" (Rampersad, The Life of Langston Hughes, Vol. I, p. 239). Sullivan helped sustain Hughes with occasional financial gifts, he hosted him on most of his visits to California, often gave Hughes the use of his farm in Carmel, where Hughes wrote his first collection of short stories, The Ways of White Folks (1934), which was dedicated to Sullivan. Roumain had been inspired by Hughes and wrote a poem dedicated to him, and some years later Hughes reciprocated writing one dedicated to Roumain, which was read out by Canada Lee at a Roumain memorial service in New York in 1944 (Rampersad, Life, Vol. II, p. 106). For this volume, Mercer Cook, an academic, had done preliminary work on the translation, which was finished by Hughes: "Working diligently with his Haitian biographer, René Piquion, Langston scanned every line of both the original novel and Cook's draft in order to achieve Roumain's folk-poetic rhythms and to avoid a long glossary of foreign terms; 'I have also tried to simplify a bit the peasant language, keeping at the same time its archaic and bold quality'" (Rampersad, Vol. II, p. 119). Original blue cloth. Near fine, some toning to endpapers; in dust jacket with some chipping around the edges.
