   About the Book* - The Wooden Shepherdess
^The Wooden Shepherdess^ is the sequel to ^The Fox in the Attic,^ and the second volume of Richard Hughes's monumental historical fiction, ^The Human Predicament.^ It opens with Hughes's hero Augustine in prohibition era America, where he is a bemused onlooker and an increasingly fascinated participant in a country intoxicated with sex, violence, and booze. In brilliant cinematic style, the book then moves to Germany, where the Nazi Party is gradually gaining in power; to the slums, mining towns, parliamentary back rooms, and great houses of a Britain teetering on the verge of class war; and to the wilds of the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The novel ends with a terrifying account of the Night of the Long Knives, as Hitler ruthlessly secures his hold upon Germany.
This new edition of the ^The Wooden Shepherdess^ concludes with the twelve chapters that Hughes completed of the planned third volume of ^The Human Predicament,^ here published for the first time in America.
