Sobre este item
Cambridge, MA: Houghton Mifflin Company / The Riverside Press, 1941. Near Fine/Very Good. Cambridge, MA: Houghton Mifflin Company / The Riverside Press, 1941. First Edition. Octavo. 183 pp. First state dust jacket with glassine panel to front and original $2.00 price present. Gray and tan boards stamped in black and yellow.
Dust jacket shows a couple minor chips on edges; tear to front fold between glassine panel and top edge; a couple short tears, wrinkling, and glue stains along top edge at verso and glassine detached along edge nearest spine - all nearly inevitable flaws to this ill-conceived dust jacket, with this copy relatively well preserved all things considered. Boards show a few minor smudges. Toning to endpapers, with a small bookseller's ticket of Delaware Book Shop to rear pastedown. Binding is sound and interior unmarked. A Near Fine copy in a Very Good dust jacket.

Sinopse
A new trade paperback edition of McCullers' second novel, REFLECTIONS IN A GOLDEN EYE, immortalized by the 1967 film starring Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, and John Houston. Set on a Southern army base in the 1930s, REFLECTIONS tells the story of Captain Penderton, a bisexual whose life is upset by the arrival of Major Langdon, a charming womanizer who has an affair with Penderton's tempestuous and flirtatious wife, Leonora. Upon the novel's publication in 1941, reviewers were unsure of what to make of its relatively scandalous subject matter. But a critic for Time Magazine wrote, "In almost any hands, such material would yield a rank fruitcake of mere arty melodrama. But Carson McCullers tells her tale with simplicity, insight, and a rare gift of phrase." Written during a time when McCullers's own marriage to Reeves was on the brink of collapse, her second novel deals with her trademark themes of alienation and unfulfilled loves.
