1958rif. 156THE LOG From The SEA OF CORTEZ by JOHN STEINBECK Published by Heinemann in London 1958. 1st UK Edition. Signed by Author on title page. This popular account of Steinbeck's days with his "mentor" Ed Ricketts was a best-seller in the day and is still reprinted up to this day. John Steinbeck adored Ricketts and was compelled to write this emotional record of his time spent with the co-author of THE SEA OF CORTEZ and who also inspired Steinbeck to write his novel CANNERY ROW which he published in 1945. Steinbeck was perhaps the finest American writer ever finding fascination in human beings whose small lives he could paint in words so they became as grand drifting clouds with which the reader becomes naturally involved. In THE PEARL we can feel the vain hopeful dreams of a poor young Mexican man slipping away from him. In OF MICE AND MEN the author captured the tension of a well-meaning crook trying to control his own Frankenstein the gentle simple-minded giant named Lenny whose impulses stray into an innocent kind of destructiveness. Condition: Very Good. Blue board book covers are clean and smart. While the pages are clean throughout with none turned or torn there is an ink mark to the final page edges which bleeds onto the edge of the final map page and which was probably done by Steinbeck himself as it is in the same kind of black pen ink in which he signed the book. The dust jacket is protected in a mylar covering but shows light wear at the edges and also some light soiling though it is generally still in prresentable condition without any major tears.
