In brilliant cinematic style, the book then moves to Germany, where the Nazi Party is gradually gaining in power; to the slums, mining towns, parliamentary back rooms, and great houses of a Britain teetering on the verge of class war; and to the wilds of the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The novel ends with a terrifying account of the Night of the Long Knives, as Hitler ruthlessly secures his hold upon Germany. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis new edition of the \u003ci\u003eThe Wooden Shepherdess\u003c\/i\u003e concludes with the twelve chapters that Hughes completed of the planned third volume of \"The Human Predicament,\" here published for the first time in America.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"Wooden Shepherdess | Richard Hughes | Paperback | 9780940322301 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks B 1756768","offer_id":49149143515288,"sku":"1756768","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71a9TzEI4xL.jpg?v=1779524164","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/wooden-shepherdess","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
