Condition: Good

Description: Hardcover without dust wrapper. A nice copy with some browning as is usual for books of this age. No marks or writing as is often found. This is the First Edition, First Printing of this classic work, and to my mind, one of Lewis' best. As necessary, First Edition is stated. Sinclair Lewis has the distinction of being the first American to win the Nobel Prize for Literature (1930) "for his vigorous and graphic art of description and his ability to create, with wit and humour, new types of characters." His genius is certainly on full display here.

Lewis, Sinclair [Harry] (1885-1951). The Prodigal Parents, A Novel. Doubleday, Doran & Company, Garden City, 1938.

Price: US$25.00 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: [i-viii]+[1]+301+[302-04] pages. Octavo (8" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's red cloth with gilt title and author's name on spine and embossed "SL" on cover in original jacket. (Pastore: 251) First state, limited to 10,000 copies with title page 1/4 inch shorter at bottom than surrounding leaves, corrected in later print run. Lewis had commented to several parties privately that Doubleday, Doran was putting too much focus on the Nobel Prize and too little on him. Word reached the publisher and the result was the addition of Lewis's initials to the olive branch motif on the cover of this and subsequent novels. The novel in an attack on the Communist left as a response the way It can't Happen Here was an attack on the totalitarian right; it deals with the "generation gap" and was soundly criticized by Lewis's former socialistic associates, Upton Sinclair, in particular, who vied the book as an apologia for middle-class values and mores, those same values and mores which Lewis had so well attacked. The book was written quickly and obsessively during the stage run of It Can't Happen Here and it sold fairly well. The jacket design, an overly serious, almost funereal combination of black, gilt and the intertwined laurel branch and initials hardly befits the light tone of the contents and is a good example of the detachment of the publisher from the published. The book is easy to come by in collectible condition, although the spine gilt on the jacket rubs easily as does the back ground of the jacket overall. Condition: Corners and spine ends bumped. Jacket corners and spine ends chipped, hinges and fold over edges rubbed and chipped, edge wear with some closed edge tears. Very good in about a very good jacket.

Price: US$26.50 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: First edition. No jacket. Spine lightly toned, light general wear. 1938 Hard Cover. 301 pp. "The revolt of the parents against the revolt of youth as exemplified by a typical middle-class family of four." Fred Cornplow, shrewd middle-class realist, gradually wakes to find that Sarah, his selfish college graduate daughter, and his son Howard, still irregularly playing football for old Truxon, think of him as intellectually obsolete, as a convenience, as a walking bank account to whom they need return neither affection nor thoughtfulness. If you are a father or a mother with young or grown-up children; if you are a young man or a young woman looking into the bewildering world beyond the shelter of parents or college; if you are curious about human problems today - Sinclair Lewis' novel will absorb you and entertain you. With his genius for dramatizing thoughts that are on the threshold of every mind, he writes with affectionate sympathy of the problems of the successful man of fifty-five, his son and daughter, his wife, his business.
