Translated from the Spanish by Patricia Haugaard. 272 pages. hardcover. Jacket photograph by Virginia Schendler. Design by Semadar Megged. keywords: Literature Translated Spain . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Mazurka for Two Dead Men represents a culmination of the 1989 Nobel Prize winner Camilo Jose Cela's literary art. The novel was originally published in Spain in 1983 and is now presented in a fine translation by Patricia Haugaard. In 1936, at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War, 'Lionheart' Gamuzo is abducted and killed, an event recalled repeatedly by the widowed Adega, one of the several narrative voices. In 1939, when the war ends, Tanis Gamuzo avenges his brother. For both events, and for them only, the blind accordion player Gaudencio plays the same mazurka. Set in a backward rural community in Galicia (the author's home territory), Cela's creation is in many ways like a contrapuntal musical composition built with varying themes and moods. In alternately melancholy, humorous, lyrical, or coarse tones he portrays a reign of fools. inventory #17758 ISBN: 081121222x.

U.S.A.: New Directions, 2002. First U.S. Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Translated from the Spanish by Patricia Haugaard. Awarded the 1989 Nobel Prize for Literature, Cela, now well on in his eighties, is yet as crafty and craftful as ever. Boxwood, which can perhaps best be described as a non-novel, has none of the structural signposts readers generally expect: there is no exposition, no crux, no denouement. Instead we have a mix of folklore, tradition, superstition, autobiographical snatches, cooking directions, a litany of nautical disasters on the coast of Deathships from afar with cargoes of oranges, typewriters, iron ore, oil, spiceselements of nature both cruel and beautiful, of man both saint and sinner, whales, witches, mermaids, ghosts, the exquisite, the crass all against the background of Cela's birthplace, Galicia. Camilo Jose Celahas published more than fifty books, including THE FAMILY OF PASCUAL DUARTE, HIVE, and MAZURKA FOR TWO DEAD MEN. As new, unread, first edition, first printing, in navy blue cloth boards, in as new, mylar-protected dust jacket.{Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} L122
