Hardcover (Original Cloth). Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Dust Jacket. Reprint. Note. Blue coloured cloth covered boards with gilt coloured titles to the back strip. "First published in 1885, The Purple Land was the first novel of William Henry Hudson, author of Green Mansions. The Anglo-Argentine naturalist distinguished himself both as one of the finest craftsmen of prose in English literature and as a thinker on ecological matters far ahead of his time." "The Purple Land is the exuberant, often wryly comic, first-person account of a young Englishman's imprudent adventures, set against a background of political strife in nineteenth-century Uruguay. Eloping with an Argentine girl, young Richard Lamb makes an implacable enemy of his teenage bride's father. Leaving her behind, he goes ignorantly forth into the interior of the country to seek his fortune and is eventually imprisoned and persecuted by the vengeful father. His narrative closes as he sets off on still another impetuous quest.". Â Courtesy NLA Canberra Softening and rubbing of the back strip edges with a little rubbing of the book corners.
