Michael Joseph, The Companion Book Club, UK, 1964. Texto en inglés. 320 pp. 19 x 13. Tapa dura con dorados en tapa y lomo de editorial ilustrada. Sin subrayados ni anotaciones. Cortes tintados en amarillo anaranjado (mismo color de tapas). PERFECTO estado de conservación.Cape Cod the temperature was 18 below zero and a relentless blizzard was creating snowy white mountains of up to twenty feet in height. Most of the Monomoy folk gathered in the Longships Hotel, hoping for refuge. Power, fuel, water and communications were giving out. The tide was coming so fast it threatened to wash the town into the bay. And the Longships itself was smack in the path of the raging ocean. Unless a miracle occurred the hotel and all its occupants would be swept away by waves fourteen feet high, coming through it like express trains. Inside the Longships a fearful, elemental drama was being played out. And more than one appalled spectator felt that, after the events of the past two days, the town might well be better off buried, like a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. Lieutenant Colonel John Masters, DSO (1914-83), was a long serving officer in the British Indian Army and novelist. A classic.
