1941123137New York: The Viking Press 1941. First edition of the companion volume to the 1941 documentary film written by Steinbeck and directed by Herbert Kline. Quarto original cloth illustrated with 136 photographs from the film. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Photographs by Herbert Kline and Associates. Here the author of The Grapes of Wrath and director of Crisis and Lights Out in Europe combine their superb talents to tell the story of the coming of modern medicine to the natives of Mexico. There have been several notable examples of this pen-camera method of narration but The Forgotten Village is unique among them in that Steinbeck wrote the text before a single picture was shot. The book and the movie from which The Forgotten Village was made have a continuity and a dramatic growth not to be found in typical documentary films of the time. The Viking Press hardcover books
