SThe flrst, Hàth No t the- Potter, by Maxence van der Mdeersrh was a Gon- court prize nove! in France.' The book: which flrst made this man's nanie known in America was Invasion, the crowded panoramaof a wholepeople in adver- sity. His' new work is apolished cameo of the clos e-knit lives of, three main, characters. Eniotional Confict Van! Bergen, a. writer, is a full- blooded, high-spirited ý genius, g en er-. ous of, life. His wiffe and his niece, both lovable, fill differentneeds ofbis spirit; and thuts three people, bigb- ýminded and free from petty jealousies, are involved in an impossible conflict of interest. Inthis situation, the ha nd of fate intervenes dramatically. The authior's ability to project emotional cokr, and his keen eye for the Low- Country landscape against which it un- folds, combine in a nove! inwardly and outwardly rewarding. In words which amplify the photo-' graphs and ini photographs which illus- trate the facts, Erskine Caldwell and Margaret Bourke-White have collabor- ated on a comprehensive, clear-eyed, unretouched portrait of the tenant far- mers of the South-You Have Seent Their IFaces. This challenging section of the coun- try is littie known to outsiders, and thé picture these authors paint is one that nobody bas ever been able to see before unless be went himself through the countryside and 'talked with the farmers at their cabin doors. Mr. Cald- well and Miss Bourke-White have spent months doing j ust that, and the fact that they are both àrtists bas made their book dramatic, and moving.
