1939rif. 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. Original buff cloth spine lettered in brown pictorial design in brown wrapped around spine and covers endpapers printed with sheet music for "Battle Hymn of the Republic" top edge yellow.

1962rif. 179537New York: The Viking Press 1962. A writer who does not passionately believe in the perfectibility of man has no dedication nor any membership in literature First edition presentation copy inscribed by the author to the editor-in-chief of the Viking Press on the title page "For Marshal Best with all the things we are both remembering John Steinbeck". Best was a "giant of publishing" and "led Viking to a position of great prestige in the industry" Patrakis. Steinbeck's long association with the Viking Press began in 1938 when Pascal Covici who had published Steinbeck's novels over the previous three years joined Viking as a senior editor bringing the author with him. Save for a handful of private press productions Steinbeck published all his books with Viking from The Long Valley 1938 until his death in 1968. Steinbeck was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1962 for "his realistic and imaginative writings combining as they do sympathetic humour and keen social perception". The selection was criticized by both Swedish and American literary critics and by the author himself. When asked on the day of its announcement if he deserved the award he coolly replied "Frankly no". Octavo pp. 12. Photographic portrait frontispiece by Paul Farber. Text printed in black and red. Original light brown wrappers lettered in red. Housed in a custom white cloth slipcase and chemise. Book label of William A. Strutz 1934-2024 to inside of chemise. A fine copy. Goldstone & Payne A40.
