Mass Market PB The first U.S. paperback printing of Werfel's epic of the early days of the Armenian genocide. Controversial to this day ask a Turk it was first published in the U.S. by The Viking Press in 1934 the original German edition had come out the year before and had no additional American editions until the appearance of this one more than a quarter-century later -- which suggests that the same forces of denial and suppression primarily emanating from the Turkish government were at play in the publishing world as in the motion picture industry where protests and pressure applied by the Turks prevented M-G-M which had owned the movie rights to the book since the 1930s from ever getting a film adaptation off the ground. One very bad one was produced independently in the early 1980s after M-G-M had divested itself of the rights and washed its hands of the whole thing. . Pocket Books, Inc. (GC-768) paperback books

From Introduction: Between the 20th of July and 17th of August 1986 the Miami Herald published a series of nine essays by its Pulitzer Prize nominee Beth Dunlop on the vanishing architecture of Florida. The essays carry the reader from Apalachicola to Key West from De Funiak Springs to Sarasota. They tell the tale of a Florida that in building its future is losing its past. It is a story of history being trampled disfigured and disguised. It is a sentimental journey that takes us to pioneer days to a less troubled past. It is a tale of naive tourism of grand and elegant hotels filled with fantasy. Contents: Introduction by Jose Gelabert-Navia; The Price of Progress; From Fishing Villages to Tourist Traps; Apalachicola -- Florida’s Living Museum; Roadside Architecture -- Last Relics of Early Tourism; The Grand Old Hotels -- Fading Fantasies; Homes of the Famous -- Who Owns History; Cross Creek -- A Survivor Amide the Subdivisions; Historical Sideshows; Languishing Landmarks; Four ARchitects -- Legacies Misunderstood; “Real Florida” Beware; Update; Index.
