First line
August, 1931 - The port town of Veracruz is a purgatory between land and sea for the traveler, but the people who live there are very fond of themselves and the town they have helped to make.
From the rear cover
The title of this book is a translation from the German of Das Narrenschiff, a moral allegory by Sebastian Brant. The author read it in Basel in the summer of 1932 when she had still vividly in mind the impressions of her fist voyage to Europe. She took for her own this simple almost universal image of the ship of this world on its voyage to eternity.
