“Finer than his ‘Sappho in Levkas,’ with all its promise, is ‘In April once.’ This volume has all the charm and freshness of the earlier book, with a deeper and more appealing view of the world.” E: B. Reed

PÉREZ DE AYALA, RAMÓN. Prometheus: The fall of the house of Limón; Sunday sunlight. *$3 Dutton
20–12561
“Under the threefold title, ‘Prometheus: The fall of the house of Limón; Sunday sunlight,’ the E. P. Dutton company publishes three novelettes of Spanish life by Ramón Pérez de Ayala, which Alice P. Hubbard has turned into English. ‘Prometheus,’ a modern tale which parallels or parodies a Greek legend, deals sunnily with a man who, seeking for perfect offspring, becomes the father of an oaf and hunchback. ‘Limón’ is a murder tale. ‘Sunday sunlight’ is a tale of ravishers which recites horrors which recall and surpass ‘Titus Andronicus.’”—Review
“Those who enjoy artistry, intelligence and pages overflowing with the evidence of original and unique talent will welcome the book and will read it more than once.”
