Soft Cover Colour Printed Cove. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. 4th Edition. ### The Soft Voice of the Serpent - No.1749 - 1962 - A Penguin Book ### ~#~ THIS BOOK: Classified as GOOD: This book is a 1962 Penguin Publication. Orange and White softcover, in a good condition considering its age. Some minor shelf wear to the heel and some bumping, cover has a few black marks. As with most of the early post WWII books, the page edges are discoloured due to quality of paper, No Foxing, cover has a slight crease. ## ### These twenty-one short stories ? packed as it were, with feeling made visual ? are by the distinguished South African writer, Nadine Gordimer. When they were first published the critics were not slow to recognize in her a genuine discovery. 'There is wonderful talent at work here', wrote Margaret Lane in the Observer, and George Malcolm Thomson spoke of 'a new, deeply original talent' in the Evening Standard. ## She seems to apply the ear of a musician, the eye of an artist, and the sensitivity of a poet to these verbal sketches of little but significant events, played in front of a brilliantly lighted South African backdrop. They evoke the sensations of a moment in the reader's mind with uncanny power. ### ~#~ YOU MAY FIND THIS INTERESTING: Penguin Books is a British publishing house. It was co-founded in 1935 by Sir Allen Lane with his brothers Richard and John, as a line of the publishers The Bodley Head, only becoming a separate company the following year. Penguin revolutionised publishing in the 1930s through its inexpensive paperbacks, sold through Woolworths and other high street stores for sixpence, bringing high-quality fiction and non-fiction to the mass market. Its success showed that large audiences existed for serious books. It also had a significant impact on public debate in Britain through its books on culture, politics, the arts, and science. ~#~ #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.
