Condition: Very Good

Description: For the first time since he wrote his first novel, twelve years ago, Steinbeck has gone outside of America for his setting. Yet this book, more than any other he has written, is of our times and of our hearts today. Its people are men and women like ourselves, and its hero, Mayor Orden, will stand with George and Lennie, Tom Joad and Jody Tiflin, among the immortal characters of fiction. The Moon Is Down continues the experiment begun with Of Mice and Men, that of writing a short novel having the time and place disciplines of the stage. The scene of the book is any conquered country in any time. The author has purposely refrained from making it literally true to actual events. Although the weapons and ideologies may be of the present, they are only vehicles for the theme that a free brave people is unconquerable.

Description: 188 p. From Wikipedia: "The Moon Is Down, a novel by John Steinbeck fashioned for adaption for the theatre and for which Steinbeck received the Norwegian King Haakon VII Freedom Cross, was published by Viking Press in March 1942. The story tells of the military occupation of a small town in Northern Europe by the army of an unnamed nation at war with England and Russia (much like the occupation of Norway by the Germans during World War II). Numerous editions were secretly published across all of occupied Europe, including Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Dutch and Italian versions; it was the best known work of U.S. literature in the Soviet Union during the war. Although the text never names the occupying force as German, references to "The Leader", "Memories of defeats in Belgium and France 20 years ago" clearly suggest it. Written with a purpose to motivate and enthuse the resistance movements in occupied countries, the book has appeared in at least 92 editions across the world." Good. No dust jacket. Spine somewhat faded. Slightly cocked. First Edition [stated]. Presumed First Printing.

Binding sturdy, light wear to corners and to head and foot of spine, boards mildly faded at edges, slight forward slope to spine; contents age-toned but unmarked. The dust jacket, now in a plastic sleeve, is rubbed and edgeworn, with small losses at head of spine and separation of a three-inch panel from foot, and with rubbing and tears at flapfolds.

Condition: Very Good

Description: The Nobel Prize-winning Steinbeck wrote this 1942 novel about the invasion of a small peaceful country by the overwhelming war machine of a large dictatorship in 1942. It was immediately recognized by the public to be about Germany's 1940 invasion of Norway, and Steinbeck received the Haakon VII Cross of Freedom at the end of the war for his contributions to the Norwegian resistance movement. First Edition, first printing (points of issue: printers name missing from copyright page and stray period between "talk" and "this" in line 11, page 112.). About 4 3/4 x 7 1/2 inches, 188 pages in blue cloth-covered boards with silver-lettered title and author in silver box on front cover and silver lettering on spine. Sorry, no dustjacket. Spine is moderately faded as is title/author box (still visible and legible), corners lightly bumped, mild surface and edge wear. Text edges show light foxing and soiling, inside covers and end pages age-tanned in margins. Some one-syllable words (mostly pronouns and conjunctions) underlined in pencil on pages 61, 63, 69 and 87. All that noted, book is basically complete and clean with tight binding and intact hinges. It shows no tearing, chipping or creasing. Not ex-library or remaindered. Remains a decent reading/study copy or a place holder. The book was the basis for both stage and screen adaptations during the war and Euopean resistance organizations published translations throughout the war. Steinbeck served as a war correspondent for the NY Herald Tribune and was wounded during commando raids in the Mediterranean.

Price: US$41.50 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: First edition, second state (printer stated on copyright page, error on p. 112 corrected). Fore edge lightly foxed, jacket price clipped, jacket toned. 1942 Hard Cover. 188 pp. 8vo. Original blue cloth, silver titles. A military novella clearly intended to mirror World War II and the occupation by the Nazis, although in this story the occupying nation remains unnamed. It was written to encourage resistance among the oppressed. The Moon Is Down, a novel by John Steinbeck fashioned for adaptation for the theatre and for which Steinbeck received the Norwegian King Haakon VII Freedom Cross, was published by Viking Press in March 1942. The story tells of the military occupation of a small town in Northern Europe by the army of an unnamed nation at war with England and Russia (much like the occupation of Norway by the Germans during World War II). A French language translation of the book was published illegally in Nazi-occupied France by Les Editions de Minuit, a French Resistance publishing house. Furthermore, numerous other editions were also secretly published across all of occupied Europe, including Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, and Italian versions (as well as a Swedish version); it was the best known work of U.S. literature in the Soviet Union during the war. Although the text never names the occupying force as German, references to 'The Leader,' 'Memories of defeats in Belgium and France 20 years ago' clearly suggest it. Written with a purpose to motivate and enthuse the resistance movements in occupied countries, the book has appeared in at least 92 editions across the world.
