réf. STGOBA33New York: Robert O. Ballou 1933 First edition. First printing. An all but fine copy with some sunning to the cloth along the spine. A small booksellers ticket to the rear pastedown but the contents flawless. pp. 8-9 slightly attached from the publisher's glue at the hinge - a defect inherent at printing. In a near fine dust jacket. The jacket spine with toned lettering and a tiny nick at the base. Some foxing to the rear panel and and the verso. Bright and vivid still and wholly unrestored. A beautiful example of Steinbeck's third novel his most challenging and time consuming to complete. It explores faith and the relationship between man and his land themes that Steinbeck would build upon in later works. Quite scarce with only 598 copies initially bound for sale and few surviving in such beautiful condition. hardcover

"Ancient pagan beliefs the great Greek epics and the Bible all inform this extraordinary novel by Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck which occupied him for more than five difficult years. While fulfilling his dead father's dream of creating a prosperous farm in California Joseph Wayne comes to believe that a magnificent tree on the farm embodies his father's spirit. His brothers and their families share in Joseph's prosperity and the farm flourishes-until one brother frightened by Joseph's pagan belief kills the tree allowing disease and famine to descend on the farm.
