What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first UK edition, first impression.
In the publisher's original price unclipped dust wrapper.
The best known work of American literature in the Soviet Union during the Second World War, this novel details the military occupation of a small town in Northern Europe by the army of a nation at war with England and Russia.
With a Book Society bookplate to the front pastedown, dated June 1942.
The work appears to be reminiscent of the occupation of Norway by the Germans, and resulted in Steinbeck being awarded the Norwegian King Haakon VII Freedom Cross.
