Condition: Good
Description: Random House, 1954. Hardcover. Condition: Good, minor ink stains on spine together with some sunning, and some scuffing on boards otherwise Very Good. Text block clean and bright free from markings save prior owners name in neat ink script on FFL. No Dust Jacket. Book club edition, bearing distinctive blind stamp punch at lower right of rear board. Winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, the first book to win both awards. Wikipedia says: Amid the creative slowdown of WWII Faulkner began work on a new novel that merged World War I's Unknown Soldier with the Passion of Christ. Published over a decade later as A Fable, it won the 1954 Pulitzer Prize. The award for A Fable was a controversial political choice. The jury had selected Milton Lotts The Last Hunt for the prize, but Pulitzer Prize Administrator Professor John Hohenberg convinced the Pulitzer board that Faulkner was long overdue for the award, despite A Fable being a lesser work of his, and the board overrode the jury's selection, much to the disgust of its members.

At some point the book was exposed to water on its spine, and the cloth dye offset to the back of the wrapper -- neither looks too bad, despite this. Very good condition in slightly worn dust jacket.

Petersen A31a. Brodsky & Hamblin #s1044-1052. William Faulkner (1897 - 1962) was an American writer and Nobel Prize laureate from Oxford, Mississippi. He is primarily known for his novels and short stories set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, based on Lafayette County, Mississippi, his homeland. Faulkner is one of the most celebrated writers in American literature generally and Southern literature specifically. Two of his works, A Fable (1954) and his last novel The Reivers (1962), won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The Modern Library has ranked his novels The Sound and the Fury (1929), As I Lay Dying (1930), and Light in August (1932) on its list of the 100 Best English-language novels of the 20th century. Faulkner spent more than a decade and tremendous effort on A FABLE. He had hopes for it to be "the best work of my life and maybe of my time." A FABLE was not set in Yoknapatawpha County but in France during World War I. It deals with Corporal Stephen, who disobeys orders and refuses to attack, fatally, and with deadly irony just as the Great War ended--so he is executed.and becomes a Jesus-like figure. The novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award in 1955.--Wiki modified.

Description: "A Fable" by William Faulkner. Published by Random House, in New York, 1954. 6'' x 8.5'', 437 pages. From a signed limited edition released before the trade edition; however, this is an unnumbered and unsigned "out of series" copy. A rare edition of this Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by one of America's greatest writers. The book is in very good minus condition. The cloth boards are toned but largely clean, with light shelf wear on the spine and bumping on the corners. The illustration of six crosses on the front board is well preserved and clean, as is the lettering on the spine. The bottom edge has a few small stains/discolorations. The front and rear pastedowns and endpapers are clean, with a light discoloration along the hinges. The binding, while loose, is intact. The text block is toned, but bright and complete, and largely clean with the exceptions of a few small stains scattered throughout the book. Overall, a well-preserved and rare edition of Faulkner's classic. "A Fable" is Faulkner's novel of the First World War. Set in the trenches of France, it is a story of the line soldiers of both armies refusing to fight, and bringing a halt to the conflict, under the leadership of a Christ-like figure named Corporal Stefan. Faulkner spent over a decade writing the book, and it won him the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award when it came out. This classic by the author of "The Sound and the Fury" and "As I Lay Dying" is a unique anti-war novel that is seen by some critics as a precursor to "Catch-22" by Joseph Heller.

In the publisher's slipcase, title printed on label, light toning to upper edge, touch of shelf wear to the side panels, a very good example. Signed on the limitation page by the author, this being number 473 of 1000 copies. William Faulkner (1897-1962) was a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author, recognized for A Fable in 1955 and The Reivers in 1963. The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, and Light in August were recognized by The Modern Library on their 1998 list of 100 Best English-language Novels of the 20th Century. Faulkner primarily set his stories in the American South, many of which took place in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County. Faulkner considered A Fable to be his masterpiece, describing it as ".the best work of my life and maybe of my time."

Faulkner, William. A FABLE. Random House, (New York), 1954.
Price: US$2000.00 + shipping
Description: Signed limited first edition of Faulkner's Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning novel. Set in the trenches of the First World War, the grandly conceived FABLE was Faulkner's most overtly political novel and the product of a decade's labor. Marketed by its publisher as the controversial crowning achievement of a career studded with honors and bespangled with praises, A FABLE was also perfectly crafted to give Ernest Hemingway fits with its religious symbolism: whatever his own many faults, Hemingway wrote, at least "I did not write A Fable by William Faulkner." Faulkner, meanwhile, considered it his masterpiece. A handsome copy, in the unusually well preserved original glassine jacket. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original blue cloth stamped with blue and silver crosses. Dark blue topstain. Grey endpapers. In original glassine jacket. Original publisher's slipcase with printed blue and white label. Edition of 1000 signed copies printed on rag paper, this copy no. 713. Signed by Faulkner at colophon. Light edgewear and minor chipping to jacket. Moderate toning to slipcase. Overall, sound. Fine in near fine jacket and very good slipcase.

Faulkner, William. A Fable.. Random House, New York, 1954.
Price: US$8800.00 + shipping
Description: First edition of the first novel to win both Pulitzer and National Book Award. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by William Faulkner on the title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Riki Levinson. Signed first editions are rare. The Fable won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award in 1955. An allegorical story of World War I, set in the trenches in France and dealing ostensibly with a mutiny in a French regiment, it was originally considered a sharp departure for Faulkner. Recently it has come to be recognized as one of his major works and an essential part of the Faulkner oeuvre. Faulkner himself fought in the war, and his descriptions of it "rise to magnificence," according to The New York Times, and include, in Malcolm Cowley's words, "some of the most powerful scenes he ever conceived."
