Graciliano Ramos – São Bernardo – Uncorrected Proof in dust wrapper
£95.00
An uncorrected proof copy of São Bernardo by Ramos Graciliano, published by Peter Owen, London in 1975. A near fine copy inscribed and dated in red ink to the half title page, with some fading to extremities, slight bumping to head of the spine and toning to the text block. In a very good dust wrapper with bumping to the spine tips, bumping to the upper edge of front panel, creasing and fading to the spine. With associated publisher’s compliments slip.
São Bernardo by Graciliano Ramos is a powerful Brazilian novel narrated by Paulo Honório, a self-made landowner who recounts his rise from poverty to wealth. As he reflects on his life, especially his troubled marriage to the intellectual Madalena, his harsh, authoritarian nature is revealed. The novel explores themes of power, control, alienation, and the limits of material success. With sparse, incisive prose, Ramos critiques social inequality and the emotional emptiness of ambition without compassion.
