With a photo frontispiece of the author, seven photos from South America, and one photo of Pablo Neruda, Chapter I opens with, "I was in South America for less than three months, in the summer of 1947, and so it seems almost impertinent to write a book on the subject. On the other hand, I did keep my eyes open. I met nearly everybody who mattered in the places I visited, from President [Juan] Peron in Argentina to Pablo Neruda, the poet, than a Communist Senator, and now an outlaw on the run, in Chile. I knew the language, and I had enough background to make sense of most of what I saw." Signed and inscribed by author to first inside free (blank) page: "To Janet Roberts, with best wishes from George Fraser, April, 1949." Small "Bertrand Smith 'Acres of Books'" stamp to inside front cover; outer covers are corner-scuffed, light edge wear. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 002198
