STEINBECK, JOHN
Two Original Black & White Comic Photographs of John Steinbeck and His Wife Gwen
N.p: n.p n.d. c. 1930’s. Both approximately 3†x 5â€. One photo is of John and Gwen Steinbeck holding hands striking a campy pose - she glancing dreamily off into the distance wearing a hat with a single extremely tall feather sticking straight up and he staring directly into the camera seemingly suppressing a grin wearing a now old-fashioned leather football helmet. The other is equally amusing with Gwen standing on a stone wall arm held high pointing dramatically into the sky while John has come up beside her and is taking liberties with the hem of her dress lifting it up and staring at her revealed legs. Both are blind stamped ‘JOHN STEINBECK’. Fine. n.p hardcover

N.p. New York 1944. Typescript 3pp. numbered 1-3 on rectos of 3 leaves of duplicated radioplay typescript struck through approximately 600 words. Typed Letter one page. 1 vols. 10-14/ x 7-1/2 inches. Slightly age-darkened but very good overall. Typescript 3pp. numbered 1-3 on rectos of 3 leaves of duplicated radioplay typescript struck through approximately 600 words. Typed Letter one page. 1 vols. 10-14/ x 7-1/2 inches. Evocative Steinbeck story or "mood piece" imagining a decorated black pilot returning to his hometown cheered by his neighbors and welcomed by his father in the house he grew up in with the remark: "Son - every black man in the world is going to fly with your wings."<br /> <br /> In his cover letter to his friend Burgess Meredith who served in the Air Force during the war he writes:<br /> <br /> "DEAR BUZZY:<br /> <br /> A different version of the following was done for overseas broadcast to the troops by O.W.I. This is a different version. I don't know whether you would like to use it or not. It has an odd length. I might be a good idea to use it in some one of your shows. If you want it you are quite welcome to it. It was written against a background of music imagined music I mean. Should you desire to use it I think the story itself will suggest the music. Let me suggest however that the music be soft sustained and all of one piece and that it do not attempt to be directly descriptive of the piece but rather of the spirit of the piece. I would suggest that you yourself read it using the beautiful technique you used in "The Forgotten Village" . the soft reading that seems not to be reading at all. This is pure mood and would have to be delivered like soft music. Anyway there it is and you're welcome to it - if you want it."<br /> <br /> Office of War Information for which Steinbeck worked during the WW II. <br /> <br /> UNPUBLISHED until 2014 when the revived Strand Magazine published a version based upon a different typescript from the Steinbeck papers at HRC; a unique draft or variant copy of this moving war-time sketch.<br /> <br /> From the Estate of BURGESS MEREDITH. unknown

VINHAS DA IRAAS - BEST BOLSO
BEST BOLSO. new. "Obra-prima de John Steinbeck em edi��o de bolso. As vinhas da ira � o cl�ssico que valeu o Pr�mio Pulitzer a John Steinbeck e permanece como um dos arqu�tipos da cultura norte-americana. Agraciado tamb�m com o Nobel de Literatura o autor retratou o homem moderno diante das dificuldades a pobreza e a priva��o em um universo hostil protagonizado por v�timas da competi��o e p�rias sociais. O livro � fortemente marcada pela forma pelas descri��es real�sticas e pela reflex�o sobre o mito do para�so americano. As vinhas da ira representa o confronto entre indiv�duo e sociedade atrav�s da epopeia da fam�lia Joad expulsa pela seca dos campos de algod�o de Oklahoma para tentar a sobreviv�ncia como boias-frias nas planta��es de frutas do Vale de Salinas na Calif�rnia. Ao mesmo tempo em que denuncia os dramas e flagelos de um pa�s debilitado pela Grande Depress�o dos anos 30 Steinbeck defende o conceito de que o indiv�duo isolado nada vale e a sobreviv�ncia s� � poss�vel quando existe solidariedade entre os semelhantes. Vencedor de dois Oscar a adapta��o para o cinema foi feita por John Ford em 1940 com Henry Fonda no papel de Tom Joad. "" BEST BOLSO unknown

London: William Heinemann Ltd. 1947.<br /> <br /> First UK edition. Octavo 7 3/4 x 5 1/8 inches; 197 x 130 mm. vi 254 pp.<br /> <br /> Publisher's purple linen over boards spine lettered in silver. Boards with some damp staining to outer edges. In the original dust jacket printed in green and white with minor wear to extremities. A very good copy.<br /> <br /> Published in the same year as the American edition The Wayward Bus occupies a fascinating transitional position in Steinbeck's career bridging the earlier socially engaged novels of the 1930s with the more expansive philosophical works that would culminate in East of Eden. Set over the course of a single journey the novel brings together a diverse cast of characters - drifters dreamers and the quietly desperate - trapped together both physically and emotionally a microcosm of postwar American life.<br /> <br /> Despite the modest condition issues to the boards this remains a solid and presentable example of an increasingly elusive Steinbeck first in its UK issue.<br /> <br /> Goldstone & Payne A33b.

Set aboard a dilapidated bus traveling through rural California the narrative brings together a disparate group of passengers - each representing different social types - whose interactions unfold with Steinbeck's characteristic blend of psychological insight and moral inquiry.<br /> <br /> Less overtly political than some of his earlier works the novel instead offers a more intimate almost theatrical study of character often compared to a stage play in its unity of setting and time. <br /> <br /> Goldstone & Payne A17a.

The Winter of Our Discontent. New York: The Viking Press 1961.<br /> <br /> First US edition. Octavo 8 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches; 210 x 140 mm. viii 1-5 6-311 1 blank pp.<br /> <br /> Publisher's blue cloth front cover stamped in blind spine blocked in black and lettered in silver top edge stained pale blue. In the original color pictorial dust jacket price-clipped with very light chipping to spine extremities. A fine copy in a very good dust jacket.<br /> <br /> Steinbeck's last novel The Winter of Our Discontent is a searching and often somber exploration of morality in modern America. Set in a declining New England town the novel follows Ethan Allen Hawley a man of integrity increasingly tempted - and ultimately compromised - by the corrosive pressures of ambition social expectation and material success. Darker in tone than much of Steinbeck's earlier work it stands as a late-career reckoning with questions of ethics identity and the cost of prosperity.<br /> <br /> The present example despite the price-clipping and slight wear remains a notably fresh and appealing copy of Steinbeck's final major work.<br /> <br /> Goldstone & Payne A38a.

Winter of our Discontent The
London: Heinemann 1961. Steinbeck's Final Novel - A Moral Reckoning in Cold War America<br /> The First U.K. Edition in Exceptionally Fresh Condition<br /> <br /> STEINBECK John. The Winter of Our Discontent. London: Heinemann 1961.<br /> <br /> First U.K. edition. Octavo 7 5/8 x 5 1/8 inches; 194 x 130 mm. 1-10 11-365 366 pp.<br /> <br /> Publisher's red paper boards spine lettered in gilt. Original price-clipped dust jacket light wear to spine extremities. A fine copy in a near fine dust jacket.<br /> <br /> A superb example of The Winter of Our Discontent the final novel by John Steinbeck published at a moment of profound cultural unease in postwar America. The work marks a notable departure from Steinbeck's earlier more overtly social narratives presenting instead a deeply introspective examination of personal integrity ambition and moral compromise.<br /> <br /> Set in a declining New England town the novel follows Ethan Allen Hawley a descendant of a once-prominent family now reduced to modest circumstances. Through a series of increasingly fraught decisions Ethan confronts the ethical tensions between success and self-respect-a theme that resonated strongly in the shifting moral landscape of the early 1960s.<br /> <br /> Though initially met with mixed critical reception the novel has since come to be regarded as an important late statement in Steinbeck's career anticipating many of the concerns that would define American literature in the decades that followed. It was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature the following year in 1962 when Steinbeck's lifetime achievement - including this final work - was formally recognized.<br /> <br /> The U.K. edition was issued by Heinemann in the same year as the American publication.<br /> <br /> A clean elegant copy of Steinbeck's final novel - an increasingly appreciated work that offers a quietly powerful meditation on the cost of success.
