SUMMARY:
•Tortilla Flat (1935) is an early John Steinbeck novel set in Monterey, California. The novel was the author's first clear critical and commercial success. The book portrays a group of paisanos—literally, countrymen—a small band of errant friends enjoying life and wine in the days after the end of the Great War.
BACKGROUND:
•John Ernst Steinbeck Jr. (February 27, 1902 – December 20, 1968) was an American author. He won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humour and keen social perception." He has been called "a giant of American letters," and many of his works are considered classics of Western literature.
•The first edition consisted of 4,000 copies and, unlike the author's earlier books, the entire run sold out. In fact, there were at least eight printings between May 1935 and April 1937. For the first time in his adult life, Steinbeck could support himself as a working writer.
CONDITION:
•Condition is Good/Very Good. Small wear to edges of jacket/brown spine of jacket, clipped price to front inner flap, some light blemishing throughout, hinges/text block are very good!

"France does not deserve its writers"
Moving letter from Céline looking back with despair on his eighteen months in prison
"Chers amis, Voici bien longtemps que nous sommes demeurés sans nouvelles. De notre côté une légère amélioration au point de vue légal grâce à la visite que Mikkelsen a faite à Paris à Naud et à d'autres amis. La Butte a donné à fond ! s'est donné à fond en ma faveur. L'impression a été admirable ! Je ne suis plus le damné total, la pourriture absolue. On commence à se rendre compte que l'on m'a bien martyrisé injustement alors que tant d'autres… s'en tirent glorieusement et fructueusement. Lucette heureusement a repris forme et santé. Je ne suis pas brillant. Je traîne. J'ai refait de la pellagre et une crise de rhumatisme abominable en dépit de la chaleur. La cellule, les hivers en cellule… Read More
