They dangled polo mallets from their wrists. With them rode a Philadelphia socialite who had won his one-goal rating with the Bryn Mawr Polo Club and the West Point polo team, Charles W.

Man's Fate is not a pleasant book but few readers will soon forget their encounter with it. The Author, at 32, is already acknowledged as a front-rank European writer. Son of a French civil servant, he went to Indo-China at 20. made an archaeological expedition to Cambodia and Siam, was not only an eyewitness of some of China's bloodiest revolutionary years...
