Seller's Description:
Fine in Near Fine jacket. First American edition. Octavo. 198pp. Corners trifle bumped else fine in dust jacket with very light toning at the spine and folds that would be very near fine save for a very short tear on the lower panel. Bombal was a fascinating woman, friends with Borges and Neruda (who nicknamed her "la abeja de fuego" ["the fire bee"]); she once shot a lover three times and was acquitted after her lover exempted her from guilt. According to the National Library of Chile, Bombal's novels *La Amortajada* (*The Shrouded Woman*) and *La Última Niebla* mark the beginning of the contemporary Chilean novel. A very nice copy.
