Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 41 votes Genres: Classics, American Literature Publisher's Summary: In the summer of 1931, a cruise ship sails for Bremerhaven, Germany. Among its many diverse passengers are a Spanish noblewoman, a drunken German lawyer, an American divorcee, a pair of Mexican Catholic priests, a number of Germans returning to their homeland from Mexico, and a corrupt, avaricious company of Spanish singers and dancers who scheme to defraud the other passengers of their money. In the mingling and meeting of these varied personalities on board the ship of fools, a drama of good and evil takes place, from which no one will emerge unchanged. Rich in incident, passion, and treachery, the novels themes of nationalism, cultural and ethnic pride, and basic human frailty are as relevant today as they were when the novel first appeared in 1945. Critic Reviews: A creative featShip of Fools not only crowns Miss Porters notable career but takes and should hold an eminent place among contemporary novels. (Chicago Tribune) Porter's passengers are extremely diverse in nationality, age, class, education and experience. Grace Conlin does a splendid job portraying them. (AudioFile) This vivid, beautifully written story is bathed in intelligence and humor. (New York Herald Tribune)
