Frontier Passage
Inbunden bok. Vanguard Library. First issued in the Vanguard library 1952 uppl. 247 sidor.
Mycket gott skick. Språk: engelska. De två första sidorna är vikta men inlagan är fin. Although there are plenty of adventures in the book, it is essentially a three-way love story. The scene shifts between Spain and France with the relevant chapters given geographical titles preceded by “The Far Side” (Spain) and “This Side” (France). The story involves a hard-bitten and morose Irish journalist, James Milcom (“El Melancolico”), who is covering the Civil War in Republican Spain and his relationship with the Condesa de Verdura, a beautiful (of course!) young White (fascist) aristocrat who is trapped in Madrid and whom he befriends. Her husband, who was a philanderer and always treated her badly, is a prisoner of the Republicans and her adored brother, Juanito, is a member of Franco’s underground.
