196158176NY: Viking 1961. First Trade Edition. 8vo pp. 311. A VG copy in little rubbed dj. priced at $4.50 Goldstone & Payne A38b. From the jacket "This new novel will probably surprise even his Steinbeck's warmest admirers. Instead of being set in the Far West the scene of most of his books this one takes place on the Northeastern sea board; instead of depicting simple uneducated people this deals chiefly with a well-born well-to-do society with long traditions behind it. But it deals with it in a way that reveals the continuity within Steinbeck's diversity; through the lives of one family and their friends he has taken that society apart shown its frightening shams and shortcomings and measured it against true human decency. The result is a novel in its very dfferent way as powerful as anything he has done and certain to stand as a major work in the Steinbeck canon Viking unknown books

1961121445New York: The Viking Press 1961. First edition of Steinbeck's final novel which with Grapes of Wrath are considered his masterpieces. Octavo original cloth. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Elmer Hader. Lettering by Jeanyee Wong. An exceptional example. In awarding John Steinbeck the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature the Nobel committee stated that with The Winter of Our Discontent he had "resumed his position as an independent expounder of the truth with an unbiased instinct for what is genuinely American." Ethan Allen Hawley the protagonist of Steinbeck's last novel works as a clerk in a grocery store that his family once owned. With Ethan no longer a member of Long Island's aristocratic class his wife is restless and his teenage children are hungry for the tantalizing material comforts he cannot provide. Then one day in a moment of moral crisis Ethan decides to take a holiday from his own scrupulous standards. Set in Steinbeck's contemporary 1960 America the novel explores the tenuous line between private and public honesty and today ranks alongside his most acclaimed works of penetrating insight into the American condition.

1948WRCLIT67220Los Angeles: RKO Radio Pictures 1948. Three vintage 11 x 14" color lobby cards for the US release numbers 3 4 and 5 in the sequence. No. 3 has some dust smudges and a short corner tear mended on the verso with tack holes from use; some modest marginal discolorations to others; still a good group. A representative three from the eight lobby cards promoting the 1948 U.S. release of the 1947 film adaptation of Steinbeck's novella. The film first released as LA PERLA was produced in Mexico by Film Asociados Mexico- Americanos in association with Ãguila Films and was directed by Emilio Fernandez who also collaborated with Steinbeck and Jack Wagner on the screenplay. Master of golden age Mexican cinema Gabriel Figueroa served as cinematographer and won a Golden Globe Award for his work on this film. Steinbeck's conception of THE PEARL as a cinematic vehicle from the start he discussed it as a film with Fernandez as early as 1941 and his active participation in its production make it of particular significance in the field of Steinbeck-related film.
