Galbraith John Kenneth John Steinbeck
Ambassador’s Journal: A Personal Account of the Kennedy Years.
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company 1969. First edition of Galbraith's personal account of his tenure as the 7th United States Ambassador to India. Octavo original cloth illustrated. Association copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper in the year of publication "For Elaine Steinbeck with much love from John Galbraith - 1969." The recipient Elaine Steinbeck and her husband great American writer John Steinbeck first met Galbraith in the early 1950s while on a holiday on St. John in the Virgin Islands and he and John would exchange letters for years following this initial meeting. Although known for being an economist Galbraith had a background in agriculture majoring in animal husbandry and received his Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in agricultural economics from the University of California Berkeley so he was well acquainted with the issues that were brought to light in Steinbeck's novel The Grapes of Wrath. He and Steinbeck were both passionate about politics and worked together on Adlai Stevenson's presidential campaign. The Steinbecks attended JFK's inauguration with the Galbraiths and their discussions regarding JFK's inauguration speech were recorded on video as part of Robert Drew's documentary for ABC Close-up show called "Adventures on the New Frontier." Galbraith's works influenced many of Steinbeck's later books including Travels with Charley America and Americans and The Winter of our Discontent. From the library of John and Elaine Steinbeck. Very good in a very good dust jacket. A few days after the election in 1960 President Kennedy called Mr. Galbraith to tell him he was to be his Ambassador to India. As he tells here Mr. Galbraith decided that it would be an interesting time and resolved to keep a journal. So he did and this is it. Never before has there been such an expert account of exactly what an American ambassador does. The work remains one of the most readable and by all odds relaxed books on the Kennedy years.

New York: Martin Beck Theatre1942. Gouache in 4 colors on board.66 x 48 cm. Witold Gordon was a Polish-born American Art Deco painter best known for his murals in Radio City Music Hall completed in 1932. He painted a 6000 square foot mural for the 1939 New York World's Fair and a series of New Yorker covers depicting the city in its recent past. He also designed the poster for the original Broadway production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! .Gordon was born in Warsaw Poland in 1885 and studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. After he finished his studies he moved to New York. He worked with Donald Deskey in the design of Radio City Music Hall where two of his murals are exhibited. He illustrated books and designed the poster for the Olympic Games in Lake Placid NY in 1933. In 1939 he created a painting for the New York Worlds' Fair. He traveled throughout the South and produced a series of paintings with the name "American Scene" which was exhibited in 1941 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. During his travels he painted in Gouache storefronts and housefronts that he felt showed the true face of America. In 1934 he was commissioned by Conde Nast to paint a series of "New York Shops" New York Shops you Never See which were published in Vanity Fair Magazine in July of 1934. In 1932 when Georgia O'Keefe accepted the commission to paint a mural in the Ladies' Room in Radio City Music Hall and abandoned it at the advice of her husband Alfred Steiglitz who said "Ms. O'Keefe does NOT do bathrooms!" Witold Gordon was given the commission and painted two murals for Deskey's masterpiece.Witold Gordon died in 1968.1943."Free men cannot start a war but once it is started they can fight on in defeat. Herd men followers of a leader cannot do that and so it is always the herd men who win battles and the free men who win wars.â€â€• John Steinbeck The Moon Is Down.The Moon is Down was John Steinbeck's second attempt at writing a novel in play form Of Mice and Men was his first. It was composed while on assignment from the Foreign Information Service a division of the Office of Strategic Services charged with combating Nazi propaganda. His original story depicting a small American town invaded by enemy troops was rejected by the FIS who feared that it might demoralize the civilian public. In his revised manuscript published by Viking in 1942 Steinbeck kept the same plot but set it in an unnamed Scandinavian town rather than the United States. Despite mixed critical reception the book was a remarkable public success outselling The Grapes of Wrath two-to-one in pre-publication; it would eventually pass through 76 editions. Shortly after publication the producer Oscar Serlin purchased the dramatic rights to The Moon is Down Herman Shumlin initially bought them but passed them on saying he “did not care for The Moon is Down’s politics.†Serlin known for his production of “Life with Father†accepted the challenge believing Steinbeck’s play would attract a large audience. “The Moon is Down†premiered on Broadway in April 1942 starring Otto Kruger as Colonel Lanser and Ralph Morgan as Mayor Orden. Like the novel before it the play was publicly adored but critically lambasted. Life magazine reported that it was “trumpeted louder than any literary event of the season†while the critical consensus was that “Steinbeck was too easy on the Germans too optimistic about the ultimate victory of the Allies and ultimately too moralistic." Despite its initial Broadway run lasting only nine weeks the play was immensely successful on the road and abroad especially in London and Stockholm. Rather surprisingly it was nominated for Best Play by the New York Drama Critics’ Circle and placed second.Provenance: From the estate of producer Oscar Serlin.

Hemingway, Ernest [John Steinbeck]
The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories.
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1938. First edition second printing of this famed Hemingway anthology containing his only published play as well as the first appearance in book form of The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Night Before Battle. Octavo original publisher's cloth. Association copy inscribed on the pastedown by Carol Brown Steinbeck to her husband John Steinbeck "For John on his birthday. 1940 With love Carol." The recipient Nobel Prize-winning novelist John Steinbeck remains perhaps best-known for his 1939 Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Grapes of Wrath. Throughout the course of his career Steinbeck authored 33 books including 16 novels six works of non-fiction and two collections of short stories most notably Tortilla Flat 1935 and Cannery Row 1945 East of Eden 1952 and Of Mice and Men 1937. Steinbeck and Hemingway did not know each other personally although they had a number of mutual friends. The only known correspondence between them is a letter sent by Steinbeck who in 1939 wrote to Hemingway to express his admiration for Hemingway’s writing technique in “The Butterfly and the Tank.†The letter led to Hemingway and Steinbeck's now-famous singular meeting in 1944 at Tim Costello’s restaurant in New York arranged by mutual friends at Hemingway’s request. Steinbeck married three times. He and his first wife Carol Janella Henning Brown married in January 1930 in Los Angeles and were divorced in 1942. Carole traveled with John when he wrote the Grapes of Wrath In Dubious Battle and Tortilla Flat assisting and supporting him in the writing process. Very good in a very good dust jacket. From the library of John Steinbeck. Housed in a custom half morocco and folding chemise slipcase. An exceptional association copy. The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories contains Hemingway's only full-length play The Fifth Column and 49 short stories. Many of the stories included in the collection appear in other collections including In Our Time Men Without Women Winner Take Nothing and The Snows of Kilimanjaro. Some of the collection's important stories are rather short. It also includes some longer stories among them "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" Charles Scribner's Sons hardcover

A Great Moment in Film: The Original Contract for the Film Rights to “The Grapes of Wrath†One of the Greatest Films Ever Made Signed by the Book’s Author John Steinbeck
24/04/1939. <blockquote><p>“The undersigned Viking Press Inc. and John Steinbeck hereby sells grants conveys and assigns to the Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation…talking motion picture rights…that he may have in and to the original composition entitled “The Grapes of Wrathâ€â€¦â€ A unique and compelling piece of American cinematic history</p><p> </p><p><iframe src=""https://player.vimeo.com/video/258864368"" width=""640"" height=""360"" frameborder=""0"" allowfullscreen=""allowfullscreen""></iframe></p></blockquote><p>“The Grapes of Wrath†won the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award for fiction in 1940 and helped John Steinbeck earn the Nobel Prize awarded him in 1962 which turned on the “keen social perception†in this book. At the time of the Dust Bowl when hundreds of thousands of Americans migrated to the West Coast mainly California in search of a better life Steinbeck was writing a series of seven articles about migrant worker communities for the San Francisco Chronicle. He spent a lot of time getting to know families who lived in various migrant worker camps in towns like Bakersfield and Visalia and was angered and disgusted by the amount of heartbreak and suffering that he witnessed. He channeled those emotions as he wrote his classic - “The Grapes of Wrathâ€.</p><p>Published in 1939 by Viking Press “The Grapes of Wrath†vividly portrays life during the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl in America as it follows a family of Oklahoma tenant farmers driven from their home by drought economic hardship agricultural industry changes and bank foreclosures forcing tenant farmers out of work. The family traveled westward to California seeking jobs land dignity and a future. It explores the strength and goodness of the human spirit in the face of gruesome truly dismal circumstances.</p><p>This novel had a profound impact in America. Many people applauded Steinbeck for capturing so honestly the lives of migrant farm workers during the Depression and starkly pointing out conditions they faced. There were calls for social action in response. Eleanor Roosevelt took interest and as a result she called for congressional hearings on migrant worker camp conditions. Labor laws were changed. Others accused Steinbeck of being a socialist and of championing leftist beliefs.</p><p>Confident that the book would be a smash hit Hollywood rushed to make a film on the book even as it first hit the book shops. The film they made “The Grapes of Wrath†is widely considered one of the greatest films of all time. It was produced by Darryl F. Zanuck for Twentieth Century Fox directed by John Ford and starred Henry Fonda and Jane Darwell. It was nominated for seven Academy Awards including for Best Picture Actor Fonda Film Editing Sound and Writing. Ford won the Best Director Oscar and actress Darwell won Best Actress for her portrayal of Ma Joad.
