Sobre este item
Boston Toronto: Little, Brown & Company, 1960. First Edition. Cloth. Fine/Fine. Philip Kappel. 8vo, gray cloth with brown label & gilt flourishes, Mylar-protected pictorial dust jacket (price clipped) illustrated with 40 engravings by Philip Kappel, pictorial endpapers, red topstaining for dust protection by publisher, [viii] + 306 pages + [1] concluding illustration. John Philips Marquand (1893-1960) first became well known for his "Mr. Moto" spy series which were made into movies starring Peter Lorie during the 1930's. His other crime novels included Ming Yellow (1935); Don't Ask Questions (1941); Repent in Haste (1945, L: 1949); and It's Loaded, Mr. Bauer (1949); Stopover: Tokyo (1957). Marquand was also a distinguished novelist who treated American society (often the upper classes) with sensitivity, respect, and satire. Thus, he won a Pulitzer for The Late George Apley in 1938. Timothy Dexter Revisited is an historical fiction set in Newburyport--the author's hometown--during the 18th century. The author's literary novels include: The Unspeakable Gentleman (1922); The Black Cargo (1925); Waring Hill (1930); THE LATE GEORGE APLEY (1937) for which he won the Pulizer Prize in 1938; Wickford Point (1939); H. M. Pulham, Esquire (1942); So Little Time (1944); B. F.'s Daughter (1946); Point of No Return (1949); the aforesaid Melville Goodwin (1952); Sincerely, Willis Wayde (1955); as well as Women and Thomas Harrow (1958). Marquand's novel Melville Goodwin (1951) was slated in 1956 for a movie starring Humphrey Bogart, but when throat cancer prevented Bogie from playing the leading role, Kirk Douglas then starred in the 1957 film. He also wrote several distinguished collections of short stories, essays, and articles, some of which included his perceptive analyses of sports. Exceptional Condition! No remainder marks; clean, bright, tight with superior dust jacket.
