The Donkey Inside. By Ludwig Bemelmans. Illustrated by the Author.
Publisher: 1941, NY, Viking Press.. 244 p., 4 double color plates, pictorial brown endpapers, 22 cm. "'The Donkey Inside' is the notebook or sketch-pad of several voyages through South America. In a sense it is a portrait of that continent, from Chile to the Panama Canal, but it is focused on Ecuador, because there I found, in stronger outline than anywhere else, the things peculiar to South America. Shielded by inadequate transportation (a small, baroque red train serves Quito three times a week, and it was not touched by airlines when I arrived), Ecuador has been left sleeping on, undisturbed by tourists. The terrain, the architecture, and the landscape-- the light that lies over it and the animals that walk about in it-- are rendered as they are. As for the people... I have taken the feet of one and the ears of another, and I hope it comes out all right." Chapters include The S.S. Mesias, The Guayaquil and Quito Railway, The Boots of General Altamir Pereira, The Headhunters of the Amazon, Adolf in Quito, The Friends of Ecuador, The S.S. Santa Lucía. "The Mesias was occasionally chartered for trips to the Galápagos. She took mining machinery up the Magdalena River, underbid freight rates of the established steamship lines, and was suspected of smugglng gold and helping people arrive and disappear. Most of the time, like a submerged old woman carrying above water only a garish hat decorated with banana leaves, she paraded up and down the coast from Chile to Colombia." "In the morning paper of Guayaquil appeared a small announcement of my arrival. The name was misspelled, but the text was one of cheer, of welcome and enthusiasm over the visit of a 'most intelligent and precious North American Author'. A picture appeared with the article; 'El Señor Bnelemaas' was printed under it, and, in smaller type, 'Important North American Author'-- but it was a picture of James Cromwell." Pomerance A8(bis), the deluxe limited edition, this being number 14 of 175 copies specially bound and with an original illustration, this one a hatted Ecuadoran woman in profile, signed by Bemelmans. Three-quarter brick red and 1/4 sunflower yellow leatherette stamped in gold, all edges stained red, no dj, no slipcase; spine darkened; VG+. stock#44621.

Publisher: Viking Press, NY, 1937. 151 p., illus., 24 cm. "In December 1914 I was sixteen years old and came to America.

Best of all, the author has supplied this book with a garniture of 73 drawings, more than half of them new, in his inimitable style."
