Price of $2.50 intact on flap. Protected in Mylar cover. A nice First Edition. Burning Bright is a unique novella that explores themes of identity morality and the complexity of human relationships. The story is structured like a play divided into acts and it follows Joe Saul an older man yearning for a child to carry on his legacy. His wife Mordeen loves him deeply but faces challenges due to Joe's emotional struggles. This leads to morally complex decisions that intertwine with other characters' lives such as Victor and Friend Ed. The title reflects the inner passions and conflicts that drive the characters-life's burning intensity and the struggle for fulfillment. Steinbeck's approach blending prose with theatrical dialogue gives the novella a distinctive tone and invites readers to reflect on the deeper questions of existence.

1950réf. 1195New York: Viking Press 1950. First edition. About fine in near fine jacket. First printing of Steinbeck's experimental work an amalgam of play and novel similar to OF MICE AND MEN. Expanding on the idea first developed in OF MICE AND MEN - adapting aspects of the theater into the structure of a novel - Steinbeck wrote this "play in story form" about the birth of a long-awaited child. The book was staged the same year with Rodgers and Hammerstein as producers. Neither the book nor the play did well but Steinbeck didn't seem to mind: "We were kicked around like dogs but I still want to do it. This shows a truly pure quality of stupidity. Just nuts. I'm so fascinated by everything about the theatre I don't really care if the show's a flop" Interview NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW 18 September 1952. A lovely copy. 7.5'' x 4.75''.
