4.9/5 (32132 ratings)

Description:"A painful journey back to his heritage ..." This is Prof. Leonard Casper's description of the narrative which, if put together by the critical reader, the twenty-three stories in this volume might add up to. In You Lovely People, Bienvenido N. Santos's first book, he took for his subject the Filipino in America during the war years. There he presented the loneliness and hunger of a people who were almost all of them hurt to the bone. And having gone to America as a government pensionado and lectured extensively for the Commonwealth Government in exile, Mr. Santos knew whereof he spoke. Like that earlier volume, Brother, My Brother, a collection of stories that stand on their own as stories, is a literary document about the Filipino, at home. Tondo, Albay and Mount Mayon, Plaza Miranda and Quiapo provide the setting and mood of many of these stories. Here, Santos's characters are not dreamy-eyed Pinoys longing for home but people every so much closer, geographically, to his reader: priests, salesmen, schoolteachers, and students.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
