Original color printed dust jacket spine faded with the lightest rubbing to extremities. A fine copy in an excellent dust jacket. An intriguing hybrid work in which Steinbeck deliberately blurs the boundaries between drama and prose fiction. Conceived for both stage and page Burning Bright presents a symbolic almost mythic narrative centered on themes of masculinity identity and the desire for legacy.

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.

The experiment had already been carried out successfully in "Of Mice and Men" and "The Moon Is Down." The Viking Press hardcover
