195869044New York: Random House 1958. First edition of this classic collection of stories and the last to be published in her lifetime. Octavo original cloth. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "John Steinbeck With love from Isak Dinesen New York 29.1.1959." In 1959 Dinesen had been invited by the Ford Foundation to travel to the United States to read and discuss her work as part of a film series on "the world's greatest living writers." Despite her failing health--the frail seventy-four-year old weighed just 80 pounds she accepted the invitation. It was on this trip where she met John Steinbeck for cocktails and inscribed this copy. Very good in a very good dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. A remarkable association linking these two giants of twentieth century literature. Two of the stories from the collection have been adapted into films: The Immortal Story as the 1968 film The Immortal Story directed by Orson Welles starring Jeanne Moreau and Babette's Feast as the 1987 Danish film Babette's Feast directed by Gabriel Axel.

1969125017Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company 1969. First edition of Galbraith's personal account of his tenure as the 7th United States Ambassador to India. Octavo original cloth illustrated. Association copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper in the year of publication "For Elaine Steinbeck with much love from John Galbraith - 1969." The recipient Elaine Steinbeck and her husband great American writer John Steinbeck first met Galbraith in the early 1950s while on a holiday on St. John in the Virgin Islands and he and John would exchange letters for years following this initial meeting. Although known for being an economist Galbraith had a background in agriculture majoring in animal husbandry and received his Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in agricultural economics from the University of California Berkeley so he was well acquainted with the issues that were brought to light in Steinbeck's novel The Grapes of Wrath. He and Steinbeck were both passionate about politics and worked together on Adlai Stevenson's presidential campaign. The Steinbecks attended JFK's inauguration with the Galbraiths and their discussions regarding JFK's inauguration speech were recorded on video as part of Robert Drew's documentary for ABC Close-up show called "Adventures on the New Frontier." Galbraith's works influenced many of Steinbeck's later books including Travels with Charley America and Americans and The Winter of our Discontent. From the library of John and Elaine Steinbeck. Very good in a very good dust jacket. A few days after the election in 1960 President Kennedy called Mr. Galbraith to tell him he was to be his Ambassador to India. As he tells here Mr. Galbraith decided that it would be an interesting time and resolved to keep a journal. So he did and this is it. Never before has there been such an expert account of exactly what an American ambassador does. The work remains one of the most readable and by all odds relaxed books on the Kennedy years.
