About This Item
Shelton, CT: The First Edition Library, 1990. New. Still in shrinkwrap. Exact facsimile first edition as published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1932. The only new additions are on the copyright page stating First Edition Library and bottom of the rear flap (FEL). FEL facsimiles have the same weight, size, typeface, art, dust jacket, finish, and texture as the originals. Tight and square with solid hinges and bindings and good tips. Textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate, or markings and not BCE, ex-library or remaindered. The dust jacket and slipcase are fine. 5 1/2" X 7 3/4" tall.
The classic novel of a Georgia family undone by the Great Depression. Even before the Great Depression struck, Jeeter Lester and his family were desperately poor sharecroppers. But when hard times begin to affect the families that once helped support them, the Lesters slip completely into the abyss. Rather than hold on to each other for support, Jeeter, his wife Ada, and their twelve children are overcome by the fractured and violent society around them. Banned and burned when first released in 1932, Tobacco Road is a brutal examination of poverty's dehumanizing influence by one of America's great masters of political fiction.
