DESIRE: SPANISH VERSION

by Evelyn Eaton ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 31, 1933

The most significant first novel of the month, and a book that has none of the ear marks of immaturity. A singularly objective picture of the Paris of the cinema studios, and of the life behind the scenes with the stage hands, the extras, the mechanical factors in production. The hero is a down-at-the-heel violinist who is always going to be a great musician; the heroine, a Polish script girl, brilliant, erratic, generous to a fault, who has the misfortune to fall in love with him. Motivated frankly by the contradictory forces of sex, the story has a sweep and power that is beyond any mere sensual value. Stark realism, colored with sympathetic understanding and an artist's sensitiveness, this story should bring the author into the front ranks of writers of more than promise -- achievement.
