«The Cabala and The Woman of Andros» is a volume bringing together two novels by American author Thornton Wilder, published by Harper Perennial in paperback (257 pages, in English).
The volume includes two early novels by Thornton Wilder. «The Cabala» follows a young American student who spends a year in post-World War I Rome and engages with a secret circle of decadent nobility and a cardinal of the Roman Church. «The Woman of Andros» is set on the Greek island of Brynos before the birth of Christ and reflects on life, love, and death. Both pieces explore the human condition and anticipate the author's great themes, such as his celebrated play «Our Town».
This edition belongs to the Harper Perennial Modern Classics collection, with a foreword by Penelope Niven and an afterword by Tappan Wilder. The novel «The Woman of Andros» was originally published in 1930.
Recommended for readers of classic and literary fiction interested in twentieth-century American narrative and in a Pulitzer Prize-winning author.
Thornton Niven Wilder was an American playwright and novelist. He won three Pulitzer Prizes, for the novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey and for the plays Our Town and The Skin of Our Teeth, and a U.S. National Book Award for the novel The Eighth Day.
