1946020854Prague: Sfinx 1946. Second Czech Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine in a Near Fine dustwrapper. Dustwrapper designed by Jaroslav váb. Uncommon edition of this winner of the Pulitzer Prize. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by Steinbeck on the last page of text located at the foot of the translator's notes in which the translator Vladimír Procházka includes an excerpt from a positive review of the translation: ".in reading this translation we forget that it's a translation. How many translations can we say that about" The inscription is under Procházka's printed name and is to him: "For Vladimir Prochazka/Thank you/John Steinbeck." Procházka a lawyer and communist was forced to withdraw from his political activities during the Nazi occupation and translated THE GRAPES OF WRATH along with works by James Joyce and Bernard Shaw. In 1946 he was elected to parliament as a communist and helped draft the new Czechoslovak constitution. Steinbeck most likely inscribed this on one of his two trips to communist Czechoslovakia or possibly in the U. S. when Procházka was serving as the Czechoslovak ambassador to the United States. <br/><br/> Sfinx hardcover

19366736New York: Covici Friedi 1936. First edition. Fine/Near Fine. Number 31 of 99 copies of the signed limited edition. This copy Fine and unread in the original glassine jacket and publisher's slipcase. Glassine also Nearly Fine condition with a small tear at the lower rear corner publisher's slipcase Near Fine with a small nick to the lower corner and slight rubbing. <br /> <br /> Historically overshadowed by Steinbeck's towering works East of Eden and The Grapes of Wrath his later novel In Dubious Battle has seen a resurgence of scholarly interest for its depictions of race and class. In developing the novel's central structure "Steinbeck utilized episodes from the Tagus Ranch peach strike of 1933 and a cotton strike throughout the San Joaquin Valley that October"; while he "deviated from the particulars of these labor disputes to clarify the central themes of the novel.In Dubious Battle indicates that the primary responsibility for human suffering rests on the growers since they preside over an economic framework that limits the opportunities available to the working class" predominantly composed of people of color Dawson. Steinbeck's emphasis on laborers unionizing to fight back against their abusers - predominantly powerful white men - are concerns that still resonate today. In Dubious Battle made its appearance on the big screen in 2017 as a film directed by James Franco.<br /> <br /> Goldstone & Payne A5a. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Covici Friedi unknown
