Translated from the Spanish by Mary & Fred Del Villar. 382 pages. hardcover. Jacket painting by John O'Hara Cosgrave II. keywords: Latin America Chile Literature…Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - Here is a thrilling sea story and a vivid portrayal of the dash of savagery with civilization. Its scenes range from Buckingham Palace to Tierra del Fuego; its characters include such diverse persons as Jemmy Button, a young Fuegian native, and Charles Darwin, tile famous anthropologist. It is based on Captain Fitz-Roy's Diary and Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle. But tile author has used the historical story only as a starting point for a fascinating fictional adventure. Robert Fitz-Roy, captain of the H. M. S. Beagle, had the virtues and faults necessary to be both loved and hated. Having explored the sea and unknown lands around Cape Horn during the 1830's, he was drawn to and fascinated by the untutored savages of Tierra del Fuego. Convinced that these natives could be civilized, lie takes four back to England and tries patiently and lovingly to educate them in a Christian manner. The Fuegians, lost in their new environment, cannot understand the morals and ethics of civilization. Boat Memory, the most warm-hearted and sensitive of tile four, is very shortly killed by one of civilization's diseases. Jemmy Button, Fitz-Roy's favorite, is jealous of his affection for the other natives. He plots and plans to gain his love exclusively and when he finally runs away, his escapades prove embarrassing and costly. On his return lie slowly uses new and more terrifying tactics. Fuegia whom Fitz-Roy sees as a defenseless and innocent young woman turns into a fury, and sins with a devastating indifference. York Minster, a sensuous, handsome youth, proves impossible to control. It is not long before Fitz-Roy looks upon these lusty, primitive children as diabolical creatures that lie can no longer save and never tame. inventory #12424 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket With Some Chips & Tears.

Jemmy Button es una novela del escritor chileno Benjamín Subercaseaux, publicada por primera vez en Santiago por la editorial Ercilla en 1950. Subercaseaux relata la historia de un joven yámana llamado Orundellico, conocido como "Jemmy Button", que es llevado desde Tierra del Fuego a Inglaterra en 1830, educado según las normas victorianas y más tarde regresado a su tierra natal, hecho que desencadena un choque cultural profundo entre tradición y colonialismo. Benjamín Subercaseaux (Santiago, 1902-1973) fue psicólogo, investigador e intelectual viajero, ganador del Premio Nacional de Literatura de Chile en 1963; su obra combina ensayo, sensibilidad antropológica, y una visión crítica de la identidad chilena. Jemmy Button es considerada una de sus novelas más importantes: marcó un punto de inflexión en la novela chilena porque abordó "grandes asuntos" colonialismo, civilización vs. barbarie, identidad cultural con perspectiva histórica, además de ofrecer un tratamiento literario ambicioso que influyó en generaciones posteriores de escritores chilenos interesados por la memoria, el conflicto intercultural y la dimensión ética del pasado.
