Description: "Much-needed new English-language version of Aves sin nido (1889). Work comprises Lindstrom's excellent introduction to the novel and her emendation of the first English translation (by J.G. Hudson, 1904). Lindstrom explains that she restored and translated author's preface and the other material excised or suppressed by the previous translator; returned chapters to their original order; and, in some instances, made the English more accurate or precise. Highly recommended"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
