“How can we live without our lives? How will we know it's us without our past?”: First Modern Library Edition of John Steinbeck's Pulitzer Prize-Winning Novel The Grapes of Wrath
First Modern Library edition of Steinbeck's classic novel. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Cover art by Thomas Hart Benton.
"The Grapes of Wrath is the kind of art that’s poured out of a crucible in which are mingled pity and indignation Its power and importance do not lie in its political insight but in its intense humanity [It] is the American novel of the season, probably the year, possibly the decade" (Clifton Fadiman). It is the basis for the 1940 John Ford directed film, bearing the same name starring Henry Fonda. It is widely considered as one of the greatest American films of all time. In 1989, this film was one of the first 25 films to be selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." Listed by Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of the twentieth century.
