- Summary
- Govette Bradier makes oil and the sea and the tangled monte serve him, he is one of the great marauding Americans to whom all the gorgeous romantic aspects of a tragic land are no more than practical facts to be conquered and hammered into a practical purpose. He is hard and corageous, and wholly victorious, until overtaken by the passion of love; but not only the sting of the classic arrow changes his fate, he is bitten by the Anopheles claviger, and his accomplishments, his triumph, are dissolved by fine doubts which lead him to a destination ironically far from all his determination and planning.
