Descripción

First edition, the first printing with "moment" as last word to page 106. 8vo, publisher?s original cloth decorated and lettered in white on the upper cover and spine. 442, ad. Internally quite fine with fresh, clean paper and no spotting, a copy still firm and tight, the binding very good with just a little rubbing at the bottom edge and the red of the spine mellowed down a bit as is almost always the case.

Edizione: a very fresh and handsome copy of the first issue. the best type of novel, according to norris, "proves something, draws conclusions from a whole congeries of forces, social tendencies, race impulses, devotes itself not to a study of men but of man." in mcteague, with both romantic elements and occasional extravagances, he is considered to have achieved his idealistic purpose and to have presented a vivid, authentic portrayal of contemporary life in california.
