Seven People in Every Ten
Dogs and cats are color blind; doubtless other
animals as well. Only the human eye sees color-
yet the human eye is often defective. Seven people
out of ten have defective vision. Perfect the only
pair of eyes you'll ever have. Have them examined
once a year-beginning now.

; the story of his love for the Dudhess
of Alba, Spain's great lady in those
years, reflects his human complexity
as well as his artistic greatness. The
Duchess, lively and brilliant, "bad and
beautiful", was the subject of two
of his most controversial canvases,
the Ma's, Nude and the Majs. Cloth-
ed. She is one of those perversely at-
tractive heroines who occur only rare-
ly in life; their relationship was the
explosive coming-together of two im-
petuous personalities. It was a ro-
mance in the great tradition, a public
scandal even in scandalous Madrid.
Goya's "story, as well as the story of
Spain in those years of her dying
glory, has long merited a novelist of
Feuehtwanger's stature and scholar-
ship. He has made them into an im-
mensely readable novel of an excit-
ing man in an exciting time.
THE HOLY' SINNER
by Thomas Mann
This is perhaps Mann's most fascin-
ating story, It Is the retelling, elabor-
ated as only he could elaborate it, of
a medieval legend "of the exceeding
Mercy of God and the birth of the
fire is combustion. I prefer to think
that fire is the god Dolt, who also
takes the shape of a salmon. It is
who seem to be right, because a leap-
ing salmon looks like a leaping
flame, and if you had argued with
me about it in 977, I would have turn-
ed into a bear and killed you.
That is to say, I would have gone
berserk. I would have put on a bear's
sarlt,-oh, very well, his skin, but it
was wrong of you to forget the old
words, and with his sack I would
acquire his nature, and bite and claw
and rend and foam at the mouth until
you were lying dead before me,
whereupon my frenzy would pass and
I would regain my human form.
Of course the little boy never doubt-
ed these things. They were exciting,
which was always an excellent reas-
on for believing ,and they were told
him by his father, which was another,
when the fabulous word came out
through the great flaming red beard.
blessed Pope Gregory:. Ilann has
kept as closely to the outward plot
of this old, old story as he kept to
the Bible version of the story of
Joseph, but in his elaboration of it
he has "used all the techniques which
had accrued to me through the psy-
chology and the narrative art of
seven hundred years." As for the
Holy Sinner, his origin is shameful,
his life sinful, his atonement ruthless,
and his end is transfiguration by
divine mercy.
THE UTMOST ISLAND
by Henry Myers
The first modern novel about a
certain famous voyage, The Utmost
Island is an epic of the Island Vi-
kings and the Norse gods they wor-
shipped a thousand years ago.

THIS IS THE HOUR, by Lion Peucht-
wanger.
The majestic sweep of Feuchtwang-
er's Proud Destiny, the dynamic hu-
man quality of Power, are combined
in this superb new historical novel set
in the turbulent Spain of the Napol-
eonic era, Its hero is the artist, Fran-
cisco Goya-and his fabulous affair
with Cayetana, Duchess of Alba, is
the bright central thread of its rich
tapestry,
Goya, one of the immortals of art,
was a fallible mortal. He was involv-
ed in the fate of Spain at a turning
point in his country's history; and
ei
It was the end of the Stone Age,
when a pirate could still find his
personal goddess in. earthly form and
marry her,
But then, as now, the world was on
the brink of a tremendous change.
There were new Sea-Kings to chal-
lenge pirates then ,and new priests to
challenge the old faith.
