06590New York: The Viking Press 1948. Steinbeck in the Soviet Union - Words and Images by Two Masters<br /> A Russian Journal - With Photographs by Robert Capa<br /> <br /> STEINBECK John. A Russian Journal. With photographs by Robert Capa. New York: The Viking Press 1948.<br /> <br /> First edition first printing. Quarto 9 3/8 x 6 1/2 inches; 239 x 165 mm. iv 1-2 3-220 pp. Numerous photogravure illustrations throughout.<br /> <br /> Publisher's quarter yellow linen over light green buckram boards front cover and spine lettered in blue top edge stained blue. In the original color pictorial dust jacket. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.<br /> <br /> A remarkable collaboration between John Steinbeck and the legendary war photographer Robert Capa A Russian Journal records their 1947 journey through the Soviet Union at the dawn of the Cold War. Determined to present an unfiltered view of everyday life the two set out to observe rather than interpret offering a rare and humanizing portrait of postwar Russia at a moment of deep geopolitical tension.<br /> <br /> Capa's photographs - direct unsentimental and often quietly powerful - perfectly complement Steinbeck's restrained and observant prose. Together they create one of the most compelling documentary works of the period notable for its refusal to conform to prevailing ideological narratives on either side.<br /> <br /> An unusually fine copy of a book seldom found in such pristine condition particularly in its original dust jacket. A cornerstone collaboration appealing equally to collectors of Steinbeck and of twentieth-century photography.<br /> <br /> Goldstone & Payne A29a. New York: The Viking Press, 1948 unknown

A fine copy in a near fine dust jacket.<br /> <br /> A late Steinbeck curiosity - part political satire part whimsical allegory - imagining the improbable restoration of monarchy in modern France. Written during the 1950s the novel reflects both Cold War anxieties and Steinbeck's growing interest in European political culture filtered through a light almost playful narrative voice.<br /> <br /> While less overtly serious than his earlier major works Pippin IV offers a pointed meditation on power legitimacy and the absurdities of governance. <br /> <br /> Goldstone & Payne A38a.

194726792<p>New York:: Viking 1947. First Printing of the First Illustrated Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright unclipped dust jacket. This classic story of California paisanos living in Monterey is one of Steinbeck's most loved tales rich in characters and a story that is enchanting and universal. Steinbeck often used myths and themes or biblical stories in his novels. In Tortilla Flat Steinbeck expressed his philosophy of group-man. During the Depression it was difficult for a family to stay together financially spiritually psychologically. Looking backwards in Tortilla Flat Steinbeck shows the individuals the knights become Danny's house the round table and that Danny's house is part of Tortilla Flat and that Tortilla Flat is part of greater Monterey and Monterey part of the greater world.</p> Viking, hardcover

Reference: Goldstone and Payne John Steinbeck: A Bibliographical Catalogue A22b. ~TT~ 1.5P A first edition copy of an important novel by 1962 Nobel laureate John Steinbeck 1902-1968. Published in 1945 it is set during the Great Depression in Monterey California on a street lined with sardine canneries that is known as Cannery Row. The story revolves around the people living there: Lee Chong the local grocer; Doc a marine biologist; and Mack the leader of a group of derelict people. The actual Monterey location Steinbeck was writing about known casually as Ocean View Avenue was later renamed 'Cannery Row' in honor of the book. A film version was released in 1982 and a stage version was produced in 1995. Cannery Row focuses on the acceptance of life as it is - both the exuberance of community and the loneliness of the individual. John Steinbeck draws on his memories of the real inhabitants of Monterey and interweaves their stories in this world where only the fittest survive - creating what is at once one of his most humorous and poignant works. In this work John Steinbeck returns to the setting of Tortilla Flat to create another evocative portrait of life as it is lived by those who unabashedly put the highest value on the intangibles - human warmth camaraderie and love.
