Sionil Jose begins his five-novel Rosales Saga, which the poet and critic Ricaredo Demetillo called \"the first great Filipino novels written in English.\" Set in the 1880s, Dusk records the exile of a tenant family from its village and the new life it attempts to make in the small town of Rosales. Here commences the epic tale of a family unwillingly thrown into the turmoil of history. But this is more than a historical novel; it is also the eternal story of man's tortured search for true faith and the larger meaning of existence. Jose has achieved a fiction of extraordinary scope and passion, a book as meaningful to Philippine literature as One Hundred Years of Solitude is to Latin American literature.\"The foremost Filipino novelist in English, his novels deserve a much wider readership than the Philippines can offer.\"--Ian Buruma, New York Review of Books\"Tolstoy himself, not to mention Italo Svevo, would envy the author of this story.\"--Chicago Tribune\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51819282530592,"sku":"NEW0375751440","price":16.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71FNyyTpY6L.jpg?v=1781129312","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/dusk-a-novel-modern-library-paperback-0375751440","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
