MAI SFOGLIATO, PERFETTO. LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DEL TEMPO. La notte scende sulla giornata della vita. La metafora che il titolo svela e nasconde è abbastanza scoperta, perché Puig, col suo "raccontare di sbieco" (così lo definisce Angelo Morino nella nota critica a questo romanzo) riferisce delle giornate di due anziane signore al tramonto. Lucy e Nidia, due sorelle, tra Buenos Aires, dove hanno trascorso gran parte dell'esistenza, e la più colorata e variopinta, tropicale, Rio de Janeiro, dove hanno sperato di concluderla, con ritorni, e con puntate in Europa a trovare i figli. E attraverso il dialogo vivo, usando lettere, ritagli di giornali, comunicazioni diverse, Puig in realtà racconta le storie che si riflettono nello specchio delle giornate attive di contemplazione di due donne.

Autore, titolo, filetti in oro e fregi a secco ai tasselli ed ai nervi. Piatti foderati in tela. Prima edizione in ottime condizioni di conservazione di questa importante opera dedicata a Rio de La Plata e Tenerife scritta dal celebre fisiologo, patologo, igienista, neurologo, antropologo e scrittore italiano, Paolo Mantegazza (Monza, 31 ottobre 1831 - San Terenzo, 28 agosto 1910) fra i primissimi divulgatori delle teorie darwiniane in Italia e fra i primi antropologi moderni. "Subito dopo la laurea, spinto dal desiderio di avviare imprese economiche e probabilmente anche per motivi sentimentali, il M. lasciò l'Italia: dopo essere passato per la Francia, la Germania e l'Inghilterra, si recò in Argentina, in Paraguay, in Bolivia, ove compì numerose osservazioni naturalistiche, botaniche, etniche ed etnoiatriche. Nel 1856 a Salta, in Argentina, conobbe e sposò Jacobina Tejada Montemajor, dalla quale l'anno successivo ebbe il suo primo figlio. Intrapreso nel 1858 il viaggio di ritorno in Italia, la lunga sosta alla quale, per motivi sanitari, fu costretto a Tenerife gli offrì l'opportunità di dedicarsi allo studio antropologico e craniomorfologico delle popolazioni locali. Frutto dell'esperienza maturata in questi viaggi furono i due volumi Sulla America meridionale; lettere mediche, editi a Milano nel 1858-60, e i lavori: Sulle virtù igieniche e medicinali della coca e sugli alimenti, in Annali universali di medicina, s. 4, XXI (1859), 501, pp. 449-519, al quale nel 1858 era stato conferito il premio Dell'Acqua dell'ospedale Maggiore di Milano; Degli alimenti nervosi narcotici, in L'Igea, III (1864), pp. 354 s.; Sull'uso terapeutico della coca, ibid., V (1866), p. 284; Rio de La Plata e Tenerife: viaggi e studi, Milano 1867." da Treccani.

494 pages. Apparently rebound in black half-leather and blue/gold marbled boards and endpapers. Index. "In 1899 a treaty with the Indians of the great Mackenzie basin followed the report of a Senate select Committee, chaired by Sir John Schultz; but, owing to the absence of roads and markets, and other essentials of civilized life, not to speak of the vast unsettled areas of prairie to the south, the incoming, until now that the railways are projected, of any great body of immigrants was very wisely discouraged, and this in the interest of the settler himself. The following narrative, therefore, has lain in the author's diary since the year of the expedition it records." - Preface.
