A View of the World

Más información sobre el libro

"Collected between these covers are twenty of Norman Lewis's pieces of travel writing, spanning a period of 30 years. He brings us face to face with Castro's executioner, with a tragic Ernest Hemingway and with the unchanged lifestyle of fishermen in an unspoilt Ibiza. He describes the gentle pleasures of Belize, the ferocious blood feuds of Sardinian bandits and the unpleasant duty of repatriating Cossacks to the Soviet Union in 1944." "At the heart of the collection is Lewis's famous report on the genocide of the Brazilian Indians, which led to the creation of Survival International to campaign for the rights of tribal peoples."--BOOK JACKET.
