STEINBECK, John

The Grapes of Wrath

First edition. A small stain on the foredge else fine in a near very good dustwrapper with a fairly large stain on the spine, and some overall tanning and small stains. Pulitzer Prize-winning classic of an Oklahoma family's migration to California during the Depression. Basis for the John Ford film featuring Henry Fonda as Tom Joad. Ford and Supporting Actress Jane Darwell won Academy Awards; Fonda was nominated but lost to Robert Donat in Goodbye, Mr. Chips. Steinbeck's masterpiece and literature's lasting testament to the Great Depression, it was singled-out in his citation for the Nobel Prize decades later. A decent copy with the first edition statement present on the front flap.
