195216551New York: Viking Press 1952. First edition first printing. Published by the Viking Press in New York 1952. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper with the author's portrait to the rear and no photo credit has some mild chipping to the top edge and some rubbing at the hinge. There is a mild tear to the tail of the spine which could be seamlessly repaired. The dust wrapper is unrestored. In this instance it has not been price clipped and shows the original $4.50 net price. There is slight spotting and handling marks. This aside the wrapper is bright and highly presentable. The boards are free from notable chips and marks with typical light bumping to the spine tips. This copy is free from previous owner's ink and correctly shows the word "bite" present on page 281 line 38. The text blocks are mostly immaculate but with a small darkened area to the bottom right-hand corner. Overall this is a near fine copy of a fine and increasingly scarce title. The work is regarded by many to be Steinbeck's most ambitious novel and by Steinbeck himself to be his magnum opus. Steinbeck stated about East of Eden: "It has everything in it I have been able to learn about my craft or profession in all these years" and later said: "I think everything else I have written has been in a sense practice for this."

"The Grapes of Wrath is the kind of art that's poured out of a crucible in which are mingled pity and indignation Its power and importance do not lie in its political insight but in its intense humanity It is the American novel of the season probably the year possibly the decade" Clifton Fadiman. It is the basis for the 1940 John Ford directed film bearing the same name starring Henry Fonda. It is widely considered as one of the greatest American films of all time. In 1989 this film was one of the first 25 films to be selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally historically or aesthetically significant." Listed by Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of the twentieth century. The Viking Press hardcover books
