Five titles from the series Escritores Latinoamericanos, published by Ediciones Nuevo Mundo

First Edition. Set of five books, from 95 to 160 pp. each. Letterpress on commercial stock, stapled text blocks glued into stiff illustrated wrappers printed offset. All five books held in publisher's original printed bellyband, and housed in non-original custom slipcase. 8vo. Good overall. Yapped edges of covers bumped, some general minor toning, spotting, and wear endemic to tropical climates, but overall notably clean and intact considering age and quality of materials. [2136]

A very attractive set of five books, with uniform design and trim size, packaged together by the publisher with printed bellyband (here present and intact). The books were published in 1961 as part of Ediciones Nuevo Mundo's series "Escritores Latinoamericanos." The individual books are: [1] Las Crónicas: Poesía Bajo Consigna by Félix Pita Rodríguez (Cuban author, poems of the Cuban Revolution); [2] Sub-Terra by Baldomero Lillo (Chilean author, about the lives of Chilean coal miners); [3] La Serpiente de Oro, by Ciro Alegría (Peruvian author, accounts of those who live and work on the banks of Peru's rivers); [4] En Este Lado, by José Luis González (Puerto Rican author, "stories against injustice, oppression, and racial discrimination"); [5] Cuentos Negros de Cuba, by Lydia Cabrera (Cuban author, stories and legends from Afro-Cuban culture). A lovely set of books by a range of Latin American authors.
