First edition of this University of Arizona Press volume bringing the Brazilian modernist master to an English-speaking audience. Compiled, edited, and translated by John Nist, who has signed the title page. Solid scholarly production in green cloth, showing fraying at spine ends and wear to corners, but contents clean and intact. With an additional personal inscription on the flyleaf, adding to its character. A scarce and desirable signed copy linking Drummond de Andrade with one of his earliest English translators.
