rif. 06588New York: The Viking Press 1961. Steinbeck's Final Novel - A Dark Meditation on Conscience and Corruption The Winter of Our Discontent - First US Edition STEINBECK John. The Winter of Our Discontent. New York: The Viking Press 1961. First US edition. Octavo 8 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches; 210 x 140 mm. viii 1-5 6-311 1 blank pp. Publisher's blue cloth front cover stamped in blind spine blocked in black and lettered in silver top edge stained pale blue. In the original color pictorial dust jacket price-clipped with very light chipping to spine extremities. A fine copy in a very good dust jacket. Steinbeck's last novel The Winter of Our Discontent is a searching and often somber exploration of morality in modern America. Set in a declining New England town the novel follows Ethan Allen Hawley a man of integrity increasingly tempted - and ultimately compromised - by the corrosive pressures of ambition social expectation and material success. Darker in tone than much of Steinbeck's earlier work it stands as a late-career reckoning with questions of ethics identity and the cost of prosperity. The present example despite the price-clipping and slight wear remains a notably fresh and appealing copy of Steinbeck's final major work. Goldstone & Payne A38a. New York: The Viking Press, 1961 unknown books
rif. 06570London: Heinemann 1961. Steinbeck's Final Novel - A Moral Reckoning in Cold War America The First U.K. Edition in Exceptionally Fresh Condition STEINBECK John. The Winter of Our Discontent. London: Heinemann 1961. First U.K. edition. Octavo 7 5/8 x 5 1/8 inches; 194 x 130 mm. 1-10 11-365 366 pp. Publisher's red paper boards spine lettered in gilt. Original price-clipped dust jacket light wear to spine extremities. A fine copy in a near fine dust jacket. A superb example of The Winter of Our Discontent the final novel by John Steinbeck published at a moment of profound cultural unease in postwar America. The work marks a notable departure from Steinbeck's earlier more overtly social narratives presenting instead a deeply introspective examination of personal integrity ambition and moral compromise. Set in a declining New England town the novel follows Ethan Allen Hawley a descendant of a once-prominent family now reduced to modest circumstances. Through a series of increasingly fraught decisions Ethan confronts the ethical tensions between success and self-respect-a theme that resonated strongly in the shifting moral landscape of the early 1960s. Though initially met with mixed critical reception the novel has since come to be regarded as an important late statement in Steinbeck's career anticipating many of the concerns that would define American literature in the decades that followed. It was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature the following year in 1962 when Steinbeck's lifetime achievement - including this final work - was formally recognized. The U.K. edition was issued by Heinemann in the same year as the American publication. A clean elegant copy of Steinbeck's final novel - an increasingly appreciated work that offers a quietly powerful meditation on the cost of success. London: Heinemann, 1961 unknown books
