A Very Good and sound copy of Steinbeck's second book originally published the year prior in the U.S. An important early work praised upon release in the Los Angeles Times as a "strangely haunting book" in which the valley-villagers "are made to live and breathe and have their being in the little farms shrouded by lovely trees of abundant foliage; oft shut in their homes by depressing brick walls or rudely painted frames that were once stately trees of the valley" and concludes "his particularly fine ability to find beauty and hope in the oft bare lives of these rural Californians is most gratifying."

rif. 06569New York: The Viking Press 1947. A Powerful Documentary Collaboration Steinbeck's Stark Vision of Rural Mexico - First Edition STEINBECK John. The Forgotten Village. With 136 photographs from the film of the same name by Rosa Harvan Kline and Alexander Hackenschmied. New York: The Viking Press 1941. First edition first issue. Quarto 10 x 6 7/8 inches; 254 x 175 mm. 1-8 9-143 1 blank pp. Illustrated throughout with 136 photographic reproductions. Publisher's tan buckram front cover pictorially decorated in green spine lettered in green top edge stained green. A near fine copy in the original color pictorial dust jacket. A striking and unusual work by John Steinbeck conceived in conjunction with the documentary film of the same name. The Forgotten Village departs from Steinbeck's more familiar fictional narratives presenting instead a quasi-anthropological account of life in a remote Mexican village where traditional beliefs and modern medicine collide with tragic consequences. The text - part narrative part social document - follows the story of a young boy Juan Diego whose village is ravaged by disease. Steinbeck's restrained almost reportorial prose heightens the emotional impact underscoring themes of cultural conflict superstition and the limits of intervention. The work reflects Steinbeck's deep and abiding interest in marginalized communities a concern that runs throughout his major novels. The volume is richly illustrated with 136 photographs by Rosa Harvan Kline and Alexander Hackensmid later known as Alexander Hammid whose cinematic eye lends the book a powerful visual immediacy. The photographs are not merely illustrative but integral to the narrative reinforcing the documentary character of the work and bridging the gap between literature and film. An important and often underappreciated Steinbeck title here preserved in its original form with the dust jacket-an increasingly elusive survival in collectible condition. Goldstone & Payne A15.
