The manuscript is SIGNED in full by the author at the conclusion with the date and place in type.

New York: Simon and Schuster. Good. 1942. First Edition. Hardcover. (lacking the original dust jacket, but encased in a professionally-made facsimile reproduction of same; see 2nd image posted with this listing) [a solid clean copy, but with some deterioration to the black cloth at both ends of the spine and shelfwear/exposure of boards at the lower tips]. Suspense thriller about a series of grisly murders, attributed to a jaguar on the loose, in a large South American city; for the 1943 Val Lewton film adaptation, THE LEOPARD MAN, the setting was transplanted to the American Southwest (and the breed of cat was changed, too). NOTE again that this book bears a FACSIMILE dust jacket, to serve the dual purpose of protecting the book from further wear and enhancing its appearance on the shelf; its presence has not been factored in to our pricing. .

A most attractive first edition/first printing in Fine condition with lightly bumped front lower corner and remainder mark to bottom edge in alike dust-jacket with minor edgewear; When Paula, a young Chilean woman, is sent to live with her aunt in Spain in the late 1950s, she is unaware of the tumultuous political and social changes that are taking place in her home country. Paula is drawn to the beauty of the countryside and the graciousness of her aunt, but she is also troubled by the repressive atmosphere in Spain and the constant fear of being sent back to Chile. Paula gradually comes to understand the tumultuous political and social changes that are taking place in her home country, and she is ultimately able to fight for her rights and freedom. Paula is a powerful and inspiring story of courage and determination, and it is an excellent introduction to the life and work of Nobel Prize-winning author Isabel Allende.; Remainder; 8vo; 330 pages .
