1932118006New York: The Modern Readers Series 1932. Early printing of one of Faulkner's most admired and accessible novels. Octavo original cloth. In very good condition with parts of the original dust jacket laid in. Jacket design by Lustig and Barrows. Light in August reveals Faulkner at the height of his powers. Lena Grove's resolute search for the father of her unborn child begets a rich poignant and ultimately hopeful story of perseverance in the face of mortality. It also acquaints us with several of Faulkner's most unforgettable characters including the Reverend Gail Hightower plagued by visions of Confederate horsemen and Joe Christmas a ragged itinerant soul obsessed with his mixed-race ancestry. Powerfully entwining these characters' stories Light in August brings to life Faulkner's imaginary South one of literature's great invented landscapes in all of its unerringly fascinating glory. "No man ever put more of his heart and soul into the written word than did William Faulkner. If you want to know all you can about that heart and soul the fiction where he put it is still right there" Eudora Welty. The Modern Readers Series hardcover books

8430Chicago: Glad Tidings Publishing Company. Early Edition. Green cloth; 63pp. Spine ends and corners touched still a fine unworn copy lacking the presumed dustjacket. Originally issued by Henry Brothers in 1894 wrappers this is an early reprint by a small evangelical publishing house. A classic example of waltz-hysteria literature which appears to have infected American shores somewhat later than the Continent. The author a former dancing-master warns that the girl who learns to waltz is but one short fatal step from learning to boogie: ".the girl whose blood is hot from the exertion of the Waltz and whose every carnal sense is aroused.who entered the dancing school as pure and innocent as an angel three months ago returns to her home that night robbed of that most precious jewel of womanhood--virtue!" This edition apparently rare; OCLC finds no locations for any Glad Tidings edition. 16mo. Glad Tidings Publishing Company unknown books
