06588New York: The Viking Press 1961. Steinbeck's Final Novel - A Dark Meditation on Conscience and Corruption<br /> The Winter of Our Discontent - First US Edition<br /> <br /> STEINBECK John. The Winter of Our Discontent. New York: The Viking Press 1961.<br /> <br /> First US edition. Octavo 8 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches; 210 x 140 mm. viii 1-5 6-311 1 blank pp.<br /> <br /> Publisher's blue cloth front cover stamped in blind spine blocked in black and lettered in silver top edge stained pale blue. In the original color pictorial dust jacket price-clipped with very light chipping to spine extremities. A fine copy in a very good dust jacket.<br /> <br /> Steinbeck's last novel The Winter of Our Discontent is a searching and often somber exploration of morality in modern America. Set in a declining New England town the novel follows Ethan Allen Hawley a man of integrity increasingly tempted - and ultimately compromised - by the corrosive pressures of ambition social expectation and material success. Darker in tone than much of Steinbeck's earlier work it stands as a late-career reckoning with questions of ethics identity and the cost of prosperity.<br /> <br /> The present example despite the price-clipping and slight wear remains a notably fresh and appealing copy of Steinbeck's final major work.<br /> <br /> Goldstone & Payne A38a. New York: The Viking Press, 1961 unknown
06570London: Heinemann 1961. Steinbeck's Final Novel - A Moral Reckoning in Cold War America<br /> The First U.K. Edition in Exceptionally Fresh Condition<br /> <br /> STEINBECK John. The Winter of Our Discontent. London: Heinemann 1961.<br /> <br /> First U.K. edition. Octavo 7 5/8 x 5 1/8 inches; 194 x 130 mm. 1-10 11-365 366 pp.<br /> <br /> Publisher's red paper boards spine lettered in gilt. Original price-clipped dust jacket light wear to spine extremities. A fine copy in a near fine dust jacket.<br /> <br /> A superb example of The Winter of Our Discontent the final novel by John Steinbeck published at a moment of profound cultural unease in postwar America. The work marks a notable departure from Steinbeck's earlier more overtly social narratives presenting instead a deeply introspective examination of personal integrity ambition and moral compromise.<br /> <br /> Set in a declining New England town the novel follows Ethan Allen Hawley a descendant of a once-prominent family now reduced to modest circumstances. Through a series of increasingly fraught decisions Ethan confronts the ethical tensions between success and self-respect-a theme that resonated strongly in the shifting moral landscape of the early 1960s.<br /> <br /> Though initially met with mixed critical reception the novel has since come to be regarded as an important late statement in Steinbeck's career anticipating many of the concerns that would define American literature in the decades that followed. It was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature the following year in 1962 when Steinbeck's lifetime achievement - including this final work - was formally recognized.<br /> <br /> The U.K. edition was issued by Heinemann in the same year as the American publication.<br /> <br /> A clean elegant copy of Steinbeck's final novel - an increasingly appreciated work that offers a quietly powerful meditation on the cost of success.

06585London: William Heinemann Ltd 1947. Steinbeck Between War and Mastery - The Wayward Bus<br /> First UK Edition - A Transitional Work<br /> <br /> STEINBECK John. The Wayward Bus. London: William Heinemann Ltd. 1947.<br /> <br /> First UK edition. Octavo 7 3/4 x 5 1/8 inches; 197 x 130 mm. vi 254 pp.<br /> <br /> Publisher's purple linen over boards spine lettered in silver. Boards with some damp staining to outer edges. In the original dust jacket printed in green and white with minor wear to extremities. A very good copy.<br /> <br /> Published in the same year as the American edition The Wayward Bus occupies a fascinating transitional position in Steinbeck's career bridging the earlier socially engaged novels of the 1930s with the more expansive philosophical works that would culminate in East of Eden. Set over the course of a single journey the novel brings together a diverse cast of characters - drifters dreamers and the quietly desperate - trapped together both physically and emotionally a microcosm of postwar American life.<br /> <br /> Despite the modest condition issues to the boards this remains a solid and presentable example of an increasingly elusive Steinbeck first in its UK issue.<br /> <br /> Goldstone & Payne A33b.

06575New York: The Viking Press 1947. A Cross-Section of Postwar America<br /> Steinbeck's Roadside Microcosm in Uncommon Condition<br /> <br /> STEINBECK John. The Wayward Bus. New York: The Viking Press 1947.<br /> <br /> First edition first issue. Octavo 7 15/16 x 5 1/4 inches; 198 x 133 mm. viii 1-2 3-312 pp.<br /> <br /> Publisher's original orange cloth over boards front cover with the outline of a bus stamped in blind and lettered in gilt spine lettered in gilt. Minor rubbing to lower edge with light creasing to spine ends. A near fine copy in an excellent dust jacket with only the slightest rubbing at extremities.<br /> <br /> A sharp and attractive example of Steinbeck's first novel following the enormous success of The Grapes of Wrath and Cannery Row The Wayward Bus presents a tightly observed cross-section of American life. Set aboard a dilapidated bus traveling through rural California the narrative brings together a disparate group of passengers - each representing different social types - whose interactions unfold with Steinbeck's characteristic blend of psychological insight and moral inquiry.<br /> <br /> Less overtly political than some of his earlier works the novel instead offers a more intimate almost theatrical study of character often compared to a stage play in its unity of setting and time. <br /> <br /> Goldstone & Payne A17a.
