[top front corner slightly bumped, one-time owner's name and date written at top of front endpaper; jacket shows just a bit of wear at extremities, tiny surface scrape at both ends of spine, itsy-bitsy paper loss at top rear hinge]. (endpaper maps) This "pulsating novel of adventure, revenge and exotic love in the West Indies of the seventeenth century, when the might of imperial Spain was making its last great stand to retain its conquests in the New World" tells the story of Kit Gerado's "lifelong search for the revenge on Don Luis del Toro, the Spanish grandee who had killed his mother and touched his life with unspeakable horror. It was a search that was to take Kit from the Old World to the New, from the buccaneer harbors of Sainte Domingue, Porto Bello and Cul-de-Sac to the gray, grim-walled city of Cartagena in Spanish South America." (I wonder if, when he finally catches up with Don Luis, he delivers the line: "My name is Kit Gerado. You killed my mother. Prepare to die.") This was Yerby's third novel, and the second of his books to be made into a movie (with the same title); released by Columbia Pictures in 1952, it starred Sterling Hayden and Rhonda Fleming.

"Noyes is often portrayed by hostile critics as a militarist and jingoist. Actually, he was a pacifist who hated war and lectured against it, but felt that, when threatened by an aggressive and unreasoning enemy, a nation could not but fight. On this principle, he opposed the Boer War, but supported the Allies in both the World Wars. In 1913, when it seemed that war might yet be avoided, he published a long anti-war poem called The Wine Press. One American reviewer wrote that Noyes was "inspired by a fervent hatred of war and all that war means", and had used "all the resources of his varied art" to depict its "ultimate horror". The poet and critic Helen Bullis found Noyes' "anti-militarist" poem "remarkable", "passionate and inspiring", but, in its "unsparing realism", lacking in "the large vision, which sees the ultimate truth rather than the immediate details". In her view, Noyes failed to address the "vital questions" raised, for example, by William James' observation that for modern man, "War is the strong life; it is life in extremis", or by Shakespeare's invocation in The Two Noble Kinsmen of war as the "great corrector" that heals and cures "sick" times. Bullis, a Freudian (unlike Noyes, for whom psychoanalysis was a pseudo-science) , thought war had deeper roots than Noyes acknowledged. She saw looming "the great figures of the Fates[back of the conflict, while Mr Noyes sees only the 'five men in black tail-coats' whose cold statecraft is responsible for it". In 1915, Upton Sinclair included some striking passages from The Wine Press in his anthology of the literature of social protest, The Cry for Justice. " (from Wikipedia).
