In 1940 John Steinbeck and his friend Ed Ricketts sailed out of Monterey Bay to the Sea of Cortez.

1962179537New York: The Viking Press 1962. A writer who does not passionately believe in the perfectibility of man has no dedication nor any membership in literature First edition presentation copy inscribed by the author to the editor-in-chief of the Viking Press on the title page "For Marshal Best with all the things we are both remembering John Steinbeck". Best was a "giant of publishing" and "led Viking to a position of great prestige in the industry" Patrakis. Steinbeck's long association with the Viking Press began in 1938 when Pascal Covici who had published Steinbeck's novels over the previous three years joined Viking as a senior editor bringing the author with him. Save for a handful of private press productions Steinbeck published all his books with Viking from The Long Valley 1938 until his death in 1968. Steinbeck was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1962 for "his realistic and imaginative writings combining as they do sympathetic humour and keen social perception". The selection was criticized by both Swedish and American literary critics and by the author himself. When asked on the day of its announcement if he deserved the award he coolly replied "Frankly no". Octavo pp. 12. Photographic portrait frontispiece by Paul Farber. Text printed in black and red. Original light brown wrappers lettered in red. Housed in a custom white cloth slipcase and chemise. Book label of William A. Strutz 1934-2024 to inside of chemise. A fine copy. Goldstone & Payne A40.

06582New York: The Viking Press 1962. The Writer's Task Is to Declare and Celebrate Man's Proven Capacity for Greatness"<br /> Steinbeck's Nobel Address - A Private Printing<br /> <br /> STEINBECK John Steinbeck. Speech Accepting the Nobel Prize for Literature. Stockholm December 10 1962. New York: The Viking Press 1962.<br /> <br /> One of 3200 copies printed for friends of the author and the publisher.<br /> <br /> Octavo 8 7/8 x 5 3/4 inches; 226 x 146 mm. 1-6 7-10 11-12 pp. Title-page printed in red and black. Photogravure portrait frontispiece.<br /> <br /> Publisher's original tan wrappers front cover lettered in red. A fine example.<br /> <br /> A stirring and eloquent manifesto delivered at the height of Steinbeck's career this Nobel Prize acceptance speech stands among the most concise and powerful statements on the purpose of literature in the twentieth century. Rejecting despair in an age shadowed by nuclear fear Steinbeck instead affirms the writer's duty to illuminate "the dark and dangerous dreams of man" while celebrating his enduring capacity for courage compassion and love.<br /> <br /> Privately printed in a limitation of just 3200 copies for presentation to friends of the author and publisher this slim pamphlet was never intended for wide distribution and remains one of the more elusive Steinbeck items. Its simplicity of form - plain wrappers restrained typography in red and black - only heightens the gravity of the text within.<br /> <br /> An uncommon survival in such fresh fine condition and a cornerstone piece for any serious Steinbeck collection - representing not merely the honor bestowed but the philosophy behind it.<br /> <br /> Goldstone & Payne A40b. New York: The Viking Press, 1962 unknown
