"We have two lives... the life we learn with and the life we live after that": First Edition of Bernard Malamud’s First Book The Natural; Signed by Him
First edition of the author's first book, and one of the greatest baseball novels of all time. Fine in a very good dust jacket with small chips to the spine. Signed by Bernard Malamud on the half title page. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box.
"Malamud has done something which—now that he has done it!—looks as if we have been waiting for it all our lives. He has really raised the whole passion and craziness and fanaticism of baseball as a popular spectacle to its ordained place in mythology" (Alfred Kazin). It was the basis for the 1984 film bearing the same name directed by Barry Levinson and starring Robert Redford, Glenn Close, and Robert Duvall.
