The local mayor Orden grapples with the reality of the occupation and the potential responses of the townspeople who are initially uncertain about cooperating with their occupiers.

ref. 16-5565New York: Martin Beck Theatre1942. 2 color letterpress on board. 22 x 14 inches."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.”― 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.

1957ref. BL-002512New York: Viking Press 1957. 188 pp. Approximately 5 1/4 x 8". First Edition first state of dust jacket. Illustrated dust jacket in very good condition with minor edge wear some rubbing publisher's price of $3.00 on the front flap; Strawberry cloth over boards with heraldic blind-stamping yellow spine with red printing but discolored/darkened slightly top stain red pages clean and bright in very good condition. Goldstone & Payne A36a Generally considered as one of Steinbeck's lesser books this book did become popular enough to be a book-of-the-month selection. This is Steinbeck's only work of political satire and tells the story of an amateur astronomer Pippin who is proclaimed King of France. He spends most of his time trying to avoid any responsibilities and deal with hangers-on with inherited money. Much of the satire is clearly relatable to today's people and politics as well Viking Press hardcover
1961ref. B6468New York: The Viking Press. 1961. In very good condition. . Binding: contemporary light grey speckled paper over board title in black ink on flat spine edges uncut. Lacks dust jacket. Notes: Winter of Our Discontent is John Steinbeck's last novel published in 1961. The title comes from the first two lines of William Shakespeare's Richard III: "Now is the winter of our discontent / Made glorious summer by this sun of York". The story concerns mainly Ethan Allen Hawley a former member of Long Island's aristocratic class. Ethan's late father lost the family fortune and thus Ethan works as a grocery store clerk. His wife Mary and their children resent their mediocre social and economic status and do not value the honesty and integrity that Ethan struggles to maintain amidst a corrupt society. These external factors and his own psychological turmoil lead Ethan to try to overcome his inherent integrity in order to reclaim his former status and wealth. John Ernst Steinbeck Jr. 1902 – 1968 was an American author. He won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his realistic and imaginative writings combining as they do sympathetic humour and keen social perception.” He has been called "a giant of American letters" and many of his works are considered classics of Western literature.
