The Devil to Pay in the Backlands (Grande Sertão: Veredas) - João Guimarães Rosa First US Edition, First Printing Knopf 1963, Advance Review Copy with publisher's slip laid in. Translated from the Portuguese by James L. Taylor and Harriet De Onís. Green cloth stamped in gilt, red, and green, red top stain, pp. [2], x, 494, [6]; A fine book in a VG+ unclipped jacket with a couple damp stains to spine, some light rubbing to rear panel, and a small closed tear to the head of the rear panel, a couple small holes to front joint, light wear to spine ends, a couple other short closed tears to edges, spine remaining largely unfaded.

The work explores themes of courage, honor, fate, good and evil, and love. In Gregory Rabassa's memoirs he states that the novel can only be rewritten in English, not translated. The work remains out of print in English and extremely scarce with no translator yet ambitious or sacrilegious enough to reimagine the work.…
