 | 1. | Steinbeck, John The Grapes of Wrath
New York Viking Press 1939 Hard Cover Very Good No Jacket 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Publishers Comments: In stark and moving detail, John Steinbeck depicts the lives of ordinary people striving to preserve their humanity in the face of social and economic desperation. When the Joads lose their tenant farm in Oklahoma, they join thousands of others, traveling the narrow concrete highways toward California and the dream of a piece of land to call their own. Each night on the road, they and their fellow migrants recreate society: leaders are chosen, unspoken codes of privacy and generosity evolve, and lust, violence, and murderous rage erupt. 473 pages. Cloth bound with pictorial wrap-around scene. Light tan, the top front corner is worn somewhat, and the top rear of the spine is worn. There are a few darker spots on the back, and the endpapers show some light water stains. The back endpaper is splitting somewhat at the spine, but is very much intact. Prior owner's name is written in the front free end paper.
