Condición: GOOD. First printing. The first novel by this Trinidian-born African American. "Set in Trinidad, the novel brutally satirized the island's racial caste system and the entire social hierarchy the British had put in place. A Guardian review noted that Hercules 'animates an absurd milieu where skin color, hair texture, ethnic features, business acumen, respectability, and sometimes intelligence have to be carefully weighed before an individual can be given a social acceptability rating.' Named one of the five best first novels of the year by Newsweek magazine." (James M. Manheim) 212 pp. Ex-library with the usual markings, but overall tight and clean in a very good unmarked dust jacket (sunning to spine of dj, original price of $3.95 still present.).…

hardcover. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. First Edition. New York. 1961. Harcourt Brace & Company. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket With A Small Piece Missing From the Top Spine. 212 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Ellen Raskin. keywords: Caribbean Trinidad Literature World Literature. DESCRIPTION - When Mrs. Napoleon Walker, the wife of a wealthy Negro doctor in Port of Spain, selects guests for her famous parties, she uses only one measuring rod - the color of their skins. When Mervyn Herrick, a brilliant Negro lawyer, contemplates a Trinidad governed by the Trinidadians, he wishes the British would rule forever. When Dr. Ivor Griffiths, the eccentric Welsh physician, thinks of the island's British population, he wishes them all at the bottom of the sea. And when the Governor's aide-de-camp, who has been having an affair with the Governor's wife, tells his superior of the alliance, the old boy secretly relishes the thought of what is in store for his young subordinate. Frank Hercules combines these characters with humor and insight in his highly readable novel. To him Trinidad is its people, and his compassion for their ambitions, shortcomings, and human foibles is evident in every situation he creates. In WHERE THE HUMMINGBIRD FLIES, the West Indian island of Trinidad ceases to be the paradise it is often pictured, and becomes Trinidad as it really is - an island anxious for independence but fearful of cutting itself adrift in what might prove to be not merely an unknown but a stormy sea. inventory #7578 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket With A Small Piece Missing From the Top Spine.…
