Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Paperback First Edition A novel of black magic and brigandage, of a butterfly which was a butterfly, and a butterfly which was a beautiful young woman. It has also been supposed to be a novel about Aleister Crowley. Louis Golding (November 19, 1895 - August 9, 1958) was a British writer, now best known for his novels; he wrote also short stories, essays, travel books and poetry. He was born in Manchester into a Ukrainian-Jewish family of immigrants from Cherkassy. He was educated at Manchester Grammar School and Queen's College, Oxford. He used his Manchester background (as 'Doomington') and Jewish themes in his novels, the first of which was published while he was still an undergraduate (his student time was interrupted by World War I). He also wrote in fantasy genres. His novel Magnolia Street was a bestseller of 1932; it is based on Hightown area of Manchester, as it was in the 1920s. It features, authentically enough, a street divided into 'gentile' and 'Jewish' sides. It was a 1939 play for Charles B. Cochran in an adaptation by Golding and A. E. Rawlinson, and was also filmed as Magnolia Street Story. He worked on the screenplay of the Paul Robeson film The Proud Valley (1940); this may have led to his later visa problems with the U.S. authorities, The (1940). He also was involved in the script of the 1944 film of his novel Mr. Emmanuel. Proof Copy.

Serie Mayor. Traducción de Eduardo Goligorsky. Pequeñas roturas en lomo y contratapa. Esta es la primera edición en nuestro idioma de la gran novela que dio origen a la hoy famosa "saga de los Silver", la monumental creación de Louis Golding, que conoció los halagos de repetidas y aclamadas ediciones en el mundo de habla inglesa. Aquí aparece ya, entre estas personalísimas hermanitas Silver, esa extraña Elsie, femenina, sensual, cautivante, sardónica, autocondescendiente y al mismo tiempo capaz de verdaderos prodigios de valor. Es la misma Elsie Silver que comienza a jugar su doble papel en la vida y que terminaría dominando la imaginación de millones de lectores a través de las sucesivas novelas que Golding escribió después, "exigido por la tremenda fuerza vital de este personaje que se adueñó de mis facultades de escritor, hasta imponérseme", según lo confesaba el mismo autor. A través de Elsie Silver dejó Louis Golding su visión de la historia y la pasión de nuestro tiempo. Es un enorme fresco que parte de la revolución bolchevique y enfoca a una familia cuyos componentes se ven forzados a separarse para seguir caminos independientes y dispares. Y la magistral calidad de narrador que se le reconoció a Golding queda ya probada en estas páginas, en las que se descubren los días juveniles de la encantadora Elsie y sus temibles hermanas. Por algo dijo la crítica anglosajona, con rara unanimidad, que ésta es "una de las más ambiciosas novelas de nuestra época..., superior a la celebrada Magnolia Street del mismo autor". ** 800 gr. de peso, consultar costo de envío **
