FUENTES, Carlos. Terra Nostra. Trans. from the Spanish by Margaret Sayers Peden. London: Secker and Warburg. 1977. 8vo. First British edition, first printing. Publisher’s purple cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket designed by Jacqueline Schuman. A very good or better copy. The cloth clean and bright, the binding tight and square.

The uncommon British edition of one of Fuentes’ major novels, an epic allegorical fable of Philip II of Spain’s reign. Uncommon.
