1963055979Basic Books 1963. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Xii 441 Pp. Black Cloth Spine Lettered In Gilt And White Brown Cloth Covers. First Printing No Later Printing Indicated. Fine In Near Fine Price Clipped Dust Jacket. A Work Of Exceptional Scholarship And Thoughtfulness Beyond The Intellectual Abilities Of Modern Politicians. Lewis Samuel Feuer 1912 - 2002 Was An American Sociologist. Initially A Committed Marxist He Became A Neo-Conservative. Per Wikipedia After World War Ii He Taught At Vassar College And The University Of California At Berkeley Where He Early Witnessed Some Of The Student Unrest About Which He Was To Write. He Constantly Challenged The Leaders Of The Student Movement And Appeared In A Widely Publicized Debate With Student Leader Mario Savio. He Left Berkeley To Go To The University Of Toronto. His Last Teaching Position Was As University Professor At The University Of Virginia And Was Professor Emeritus At The Time Of His Death In 2002. Feuer Visited The Soviet Union During One Of The First Academic Exchanges In The Period After Stalin's Death Often Referred To As "The Thaw" And Was Expelled For Challenging Soviet Orthodoxies Regarding Marxist Thought. His Experiences At Berkeley Where He Challenged Left Wing Student Movements And Professors Who Ceded To Their Demands Led Feuer To Reject Left Wing Radical Politics And He Wrote Continuously After This Period About The Corrupting Influences Of Ideology On Thought The Dangers Of Totalitarianism In The Modern World And The Role Of The United States As A Bulwark Against Tyranny And Authoritarianism In The Modern World. His Edited Collection Karl Marx And Friedrich Engels: Basic Writings On Politics And Philosophy 1959 Is One Of The Most Widely Used Readers On Marxian Thought Ever Published. Politically He Was Closely Allied With The Philosophical Anti-Communism Of Sidney Hook. His Work Ranged Across A Wide Range Of Fields Such As Marxist And Neo-Marxist Thought The Sociology Of Knowledge The Sociology Of Science Sociological Theory Ideology And Intellectuals The History Of Ideas The Sociology Of Generations The History And Sociology Of Jews And Judaism And Philosophy. He Was One Of The Earliest Interpreters Of The Relationship Between Psychoanalysis And Philosophy And Produced Many Studies Of The Psychoanalytic Dimensions Of Ideology And Intellectual Life. His Extensive Knowledge Of The More Arcane Intricacies Of Marx's Life And A Deep Love Of The Fictional Character Of Sherlock Holmes Were The Basis For A Novel Entitled The Case Of The Revolutionists Daughter: Sherlock Holmes Meets Karl Marx 1983. The Novel Can Be Read As A Critique Of Marx's Personal Moral Failings Which Call Into Question His Philosophy And Politics. After Rejecting Marxism Feuer Reportedly Adopted The Mantra "For Hegel I Would Not Give A Bagel. <br/> <br/> Basic Books hardcover

19251262761925. First Edition. Signed. LEWIS Sinclair. Arrowsmith. New York: Harcourt Brace 1925. Octavo original buckram spine blue paper boards original printed paper label top edge gilt uncut. Housed in a custom chemise and clamshell box. $14000.Signed limited first edition of what many consider Lewis' greatest novel number 1 of only 500 large-paper copies signed by him. An excellent association copy owned by Ellen Knowles Eayrs-Harcourt wife of Lewis' publisher Alfred Harcourt who in a page and a half inscription describes advancing Lewis and his friend science writer Paul de Kruif $1000 from her personal account for de Kruif to get married before the two men set out for a year-long trip to research the book that would become Arrowsmith with the check she made out to de Kruif endorsed on the verso by both Lewis and de Kruif tipped to the front pastedown.""Using for his theme the losing fight made by two men with whom scientific truth is religion Mr. Lewis draws a picture for us that is disquieting in its disillusionment Arrowsmith is a pagan novel for a pagan world an authentic step forward"" Books of the Century 63-64. Although Arrowsmith was awarded the Pulitzer Prize Lewis declined the honor purportedly because Main Street 1921 had not been so honored. His rejection however also secured front-page status for this satire of the medical profession in the nation's newspapers. While Lewis is credited as the sole author he was greatly assisted in its preparation by science writer Paul de Kruif who received 25% of the royalties on sales. Adapted to the screen in 1931 by director John Ford.This is the copy of Ellen Knowles Eayrs wife of Lewis' publisher Alfred Harcourt. In 1922 when the events Eayrs recounts in her inscription occurred she was Harcourt's secretary; she and Harcourt did not marry until 1924 the year prior to this novel's publication after Harcourt's first wife committed suicide in 1923. In this copy Eayrs has penciled a lengthy inscription on the front free endpaper recto and verso: ""When Red Lewis planned to write a novel about a scientist he persuaded Paul de Kruif who was just leaving the Rockefeller Institute to spend a year with him roaming around the West Indies South America & Europe so that the book should have genuine scientific material and point of view. Paul at the time was engaged to Rhea Barbarin who was living in Michigan and was anxious to marry her before he left but he hadn't a cent to his name. Three days before Red & Paul were to sail they blew into the Harcourt Brace office to see if they could get an advance immediately so that he could take a 2:30 train to Michigan. No officer of the firm was in so I gave them my personal check which both of them endorsed and Paul got the cash from the Fifth Ave. Bank in New York City. He & Rhea were married on my $1000 and have certainly lived happily ever afterward. EKE-EKH."" ""EKH"" indicating that she wrote this inscription at some point after marrying Harcourt. With the original check for $1000 endorsed on the verso by both Lewis and de Kruif tipped to the front pastedown. Issued on the same day as the stated second first trade edition. Without scarce glassine and slipcase. With spare paper spine label tipped to rear flyleaf. Pastore 9. Bruccoli & Clark III:213.
