(1st Cheap Edition)

Here is the real atmosphere of wild South America in a lively narrative recounting the adventures of Leo Parcus among the forests of Bolivia : the spice of danger is never very far away.

“Makes a breathless narrative.”—Sunday Times. “Full of interest for readers who enjoy a plunge into the first-hand study of wild life.”—Scotsman.

The LAND of the LINGAM

By ARTHUR MILES (7th Thousand) (GERVEE BARONTE)

A startling account of Hinduism and its multitudinous religious practices, in which human sacrifices, fanatical self-tortures, sex hysteria, magic, and a host of super¬ stitions are seen all to play their part. Thus, in addition to a great deal of information of a concrete and sociological nature, the author reveals the tangled, age-old lore which is the very warp and woof of the national life of India.

“An exhaustive source of information.55—John o' London's Weekly. “An out¬ spoken book.”—Daily Express.

A DAUGHTER of the NARIKIN

Por ETSU INAGAKI SUGIMOTO

(1.ª Edición Económica)

Al igual que en la famosa obra de Madame Sugimoto A Daughter of the Samurai, se percibe también aquí el encanto y la belleza de las viejas costumbres y las gentiles tradiciones ancestrales, pero también se las ve ligeramente perturbadas por la creciente efervescencia del Japón occidentalizado.

Esta historia de Yukiko, la pequeña prometida e hija de un Narikin (un millonario, un hombre hecho a sí mismo), posee el sentimiento y la atmósfera de su predecesora.

El Morning Post alaba la «delicadeza de estilo y la simplicidad de la narración».
