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.

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
