192623983New York: International Publishers. Poor. 1926. First American Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket a reading/reference copy only heavily worn front hinge cracked boards exposed at bottom corners missing ffep need I go on. Novel about "a Jewess born in the slums of a Levantine seaport who becomes a courtesan selling her favors in the shabby cabarets of Eastern ports." The book was filmed under the title A DAUGHTER OF ISRAEL in 1928 a late silent starring Betty Blythe of which the New York Times opined that "the most interesting point about it is that it was filmed in the countries of its backgrounds which include Turkey Egypt Palestine and France." Regardless of that it seems to have been a pretty dull affair: "It was made some three or four years ago but it looks even older." And in 1928 that was pretty damning criticism. About the only thing to recommend this badly-treated copy of a relatively scarce book is that the front panel of the dust jacket has been affixed to the front pastedown inside front cover. .

192214259New York: Alfred A. Knopf. Good. 1922. 1st U.S. edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket solid enough book with binding intact but should be considered a reading copy only due to external wear and bumping an unsightly beverage-ring scar on the front cover see scan and internal tape repait to a page that had been ripped in half. Uncommon novel originally published in France in 1921. It's "historical fiction" in a sense but as the New York Times described it in 1922 "it is not a history of Salt Lake City as occupied by the Mormons so much as the story of the mental and physical anguish of a young widow who is unsuspectingly drawn into marriage with a Mormon and finds herself the second wife -- one of three wives and perhaps others." A stage adaptation was presented in Paris in 1926 about which the Times correspondent commented that the playwright "obviously knows very little about Utah and the history of the Mormons and Mormonism and was forced to rely entirely upon Pierre Benoit who also unfortunately knows very little concerning them a fact which did not prevent his novel from obtaining immense popularity in France." Nor did it prevent Benoit whose best-known work is probably "L'Atlantide" 1919 from becoming a member of the Académie française in 1931. . Alfred A. Knopf hardcover books
