Pages toned but otherwise clean and unmarked. Dust jacket bright white with original price on front jacket flap. UK first edition of Nobel winner Paz's novel which "offers a dazzling mind journey to the sources of poetry. Poet diplomat writer philosopher hailed as an intellectual literary one-man band by the New York Times Book Review Nobel Prizewinner Octavio Paz was a key figure in the Latin American Literary Renaissance and in world literature. In this entrancing work part prose-poem and part rumination on the origins of language and the antic erotic sacred nature of poetry Paz takes inspiration from Hanuman the red-faced monkey chief and ninth grammarian of Hindu mythology. On a journey to the temple city of Galta in Indiawhich Paz finds partially ruined in a leaf-filled countryside surrounded by forbidding hillsHanumans mythical encounters serve as the springboard for the poets speculations on all manners of things from movement and fixity to meaning and identity the reality behind language and the nature of nature. Images of the holy city complete with the marauding monkeys for which it is known constantly obtrude on his musings. Perhaps the most poetic of Pazs prose works The Monkey Grammarian is visual: every page is rich in images of palaces and temples pilgrims and sadhus and the monkey god himself. Pazs probing crystalline prose makes this an unforgettable voyage of the mind.". Peter Owen Hardcover
