1939réf. 187292New York: The Viking Press 1939. The fields were fruitful and starving men moved on the roads First edition of the author's masterpiece widely regarded as the supreme literary achievement of the Depression era. The film adaptation by Darryl F. Zanuck produced the following year is similarly one of the greatest 20th-century American films. "Lauded by critics nationwide for its scope and intensity the book attracted an equally vociferous minority opinion" with some debating Steinback's use of supposedly crass language and his unwavering sympathy for the disenfranchised ANB. It was consequently banned in several counties until well into the Second World War. The jacket design is by the children's writer and illustrator Elmer Hader 1889-1973 the joint recipient alongside his wife Berta of the 1948 Caldecott medal. Steinbeck was so taken with the illustrations in their book Billy Butter 1936 that he specially requested Elmer design the jacket for The Grapes of Wrath. Elmer later designed the jackets of East of Eden 1952 and The Winter of Our Discontent 1961. Octavo.

1939réf. 21205711939. New York: Viking. 1939. 8vo. Original buff cloth spine lettered in brown pictorial design in brown to covers and spine top edge yellow with original dust-jacket by Elmer Hader displaying '$2.75' and 'First edition' illustrated endpapers with reproduction of the 'Battle Hymn of the Republic'; pp. 619; dust-jacket with minimal wear to the corners; a little toning to edges a couple of spots of browning mostly to outer margin of pp. 465-471 not affecting text; generally very good indeed.First edition first printing in the iconic dust-jacket designed by Elmer Hader scarce in such fine condition.Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath is among the great American novels of the twentieth century its portrayal of the Joad family's struggle for survival amid the upheavals of the Great Depression giving enduring literary form to one of the defining crises of modern American history. The dedication to his first wife Carol Henning closes with the words 'who willed it' recognising a debt that extended well beyond personal encouragement. Carol's interest in the families uprooted by drought in the Great Plains helped bring their plight to Steinbeck's attention; she also typed and edited the manuscript and devised its title taken from Julia Ward Howe's 'Battle Hymn of the Republic' reprinted on the endpapers. Steinbeck brought the novel to completion in October 1938 after months of intense work confessing to his former roommate Carl Wilhelmson that 'this book was a terrible amount of work. I Never worked so hard in my life nor so long before' Wagner-Martin p. 60.The response to the book was immediate. By its publication on 14 April 1939 advance orders had already accounted for nearly 20000 copies and demand prompted further printings even before the novel reached the public. Within weeks sales had risen to 10000 copies a week; 430000 copies were printed in its first year. The novel went on to receive both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize and its place in Steinbeck's wider achievement was affirmed by the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1962. John Ford's celebrated screen adaptation starring Henry Fonda appeared in January 1940 as the novel reached its eleventh printing. It has never subsequently fallen out of print.The book's lasting power lies as much in the clarity of Steinbeck's prose as in its social vision. From the opening image of rain falling upon the damaged Oklahoma earth the landscape itself becomes a measure of hardship endurance and change: 'To the red country and part of the gray country of Oklahoma the last rains came gently and they did not cut the scarred earth'. The Joads' journey has inspired adaptations across film theatre opera and popular music but the novel's unadorned eloquence remains distinctive giving a single family's ordeal the scale of a national tragedy. The novel won both the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize and was singled-out as a 'great work.an epic chronicle' in Steinbeck's citation for the Nobel Prize in 1962.Steinbeck specifically requested Elmer Hader for the iconic dust-jacket design having admired his illustrations for Billy Butter 1936. Hader whose work was chiefly devoted to children's books would later share the Caldecott Medal with his wife Berta in 1948. When opened out the jacket reveals Tom Joad from behind looking towards a procession of battered vehicles crossing the landscape beneath distant blue mountains. Its broad receding vista evokes both the scale of the migrants' journey and the uncertainty of what lies ahead.The copyright page states 'FIRST PUBLISHED IN APRIL 1939' without any reference to subsequent printings Goldstone & Payne A12a.Goldstone & Payne A12a; Wagner-Martin John Steinbeck: A Literary Life 2017. hardcover

1947réf. 152649New York: The Viking Press 1947. First edition of this classic work by the Nobel Prize-winning writer a novel about a busload of lost souls on the back roads of California. Octavo original cloth. With a full page inscription by Steinbeck on the front free endpaper written in Spanish with a closing line in Latin the inscription reads in translation “The first title of this book was El Camión Vacilador. It is very difficult to translate this title. It means: we are puppets and we are hoping! I hope! John Steinbeck. Pray for us now and in the hour of our death. J.S.” This inscription is a remarkable piece of Steinbeck bibliographic history. The Wayward Bus was John Steinbeck's first novel following his Nobel Prize-era masterworks a sprawling allegorical narrative set aboard a broken-down bus carrying a cross-section of American travelers through the California backcountry that Steinbeck conceived as a modern American equivalent of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The inscription in this copy reveals that Steinbeck's original preferred title for the novel was El Camión Vacilador a Spanish phrase that he himself acknowledges is extremely difficult to translate precisely explaining in his own hand that it means something along the lines of "we are uncertain ones" or "we are waverers" — a concept captured in the wavering hesitating lurching motion of the bus itself as a metaphor for the moral and existential uncertainty of its passengers. The choice of a Spanish title reflects Steinbeck's deep and lifelong immersion in the culture and language of California's Mexican and Mexican-American communities a preoccupation that had informed Tortilla Flat 1935 and Cannery Row 1945 and that gave his California fiction much of its distinctive texture and voice. That Viking Press elected the more commercially accessible English title The Wayward Bus over Steinbeck's preferred Spanish original is a small but revealing episode in the history of American publishing and the author's wry inscription — closing with the Latin ora pro nobis nunc et in hora mortis "pray for us now and in the hour of our death" — suggests a characteristically mordant Steinbeck humor about the fate of titles at the hands of publishers From the library of Otis L. Guernsey Jr. 1918-2001 the distinguished American drama and film critic and for more than three decades editor of the Best Plays theatre yearbook. Guernsey spent nineteen years at the New York Herald Tribune rising from copy boy to become the paper’s film and drama critic and arts editor before taking over the Best Plays series in 1964 and editing some thirty-six annual volumes an unrivaled record of the American stage. As one of the foremost theatre critics of his generation he moved in the same New York literary and theatrical world in which Steinbeck whose novels and plays were mainstays of stage and screen loomed so large. The Wayward Bus itself would reach the screen in 1957. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Robert Hallock. A unique example regarding the history of this book from the Steinbeck's point of view. In his first novel to follow the enormous success of The Grapes of Wrath Steinbeck’s vision comes wonderfully to life in this imaginative and unsentimental chronicle of a bus traveling California’s back roads transporting the lost and the lonely the good and the greedy the stupid and the scheming the beautiful and the vicious away from their shattered dreams and possibly toward the promise of the future. Steinbeck won the Pulitzer Prize for The Grapes of Wrath in 1940 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1962. A Book-of-the-Month Club selection and best seller on its appearance The Wayward Bus was the basis for the 1957 film starring Jayne Mansfield Joan Collins Dan Dailey and Rick Jason.
