"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the bible is filled, it would seem more consistent that we called it the word of a demonthan the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind."
- Thomas Paine
(1737 - 1809),
'The Age of Reason'

This powerful short novel describes the events of a single afternoon. Alwyn Towers, an American expatriate and sometime novelist, is staying with a friend outside of Paris, when a well-heeled, itinerant Irish couple drops in—with Lucy, their trained hawk, a restless, sullen, disturbingly totemic presence. Lunch is prepared, drink flows. A masquerade, at once harrowing and farcical, begins. A work of classical elegance and concision, The Pilgrim Hawk stands with Faulkner's The Bear as one of the finest American short novels: a beautifully crafted story that is also a poignant evocation of the implacable power of love. "Truly a work of art, of the kind so rarely achieved or attempted nowadays." — Christopher Isherwood

Originally published in 1940, this delicate novel describes a single afternoon in the life of an American expatriate drifting through a Europe caught in between wars. A bickering Irish couple provides a study in romantic discord, and the falcon they bicker over serves as a mysterious, potent symbol. "One of the truly notable achievements in English fiction"—London Times
