Dos Passos drew upon his experiences as a volunteer ambulance driver serving near Verdun in writing "One Man?s Initiation: 1917" (1920), in which an idealistic young American learns of the fear, uncertainty, & camaraderie of war through his encounters w/ French soldiers & civilians. The unexpurgated text presented in this edition restores passages censored by the novel's original publisher. In "Three Soldiers" (1921) Dos Passos engaged in a deeper exploration of World War I & its psychological impact upon an increasingly fractured civilization. The novel depicts the experiences of Fuselli, a store clerk from San Francisco pathetically eager to win promotion; Chrisfield, an Indiana farmer who comes to hate army discipline; & Andrews, an introspective aspiring composer from New York, as they fight in the final battles of the war & then confront a world in which an illusory peace offers little respite from the dehumanizing servility & regimentation of militarized life. Dos Passos described "Manhattan Transfer" (1925), a kaleidoscopic portrait of New York City in the first two decades of the 20th century, as "utterly fantastic & New Yorkish." Drawing on the naturalism of Theodore Dreiser & the modernism of James Joyce, the novel follows the rising & falling fortunes of more than a dozen characters as they move through a bewildering maze of tenements & skyscrapers in which Wall Street speculators, theatrical celebrities, impoverished immigrants, & anarchist rebels all strive to make sense out of the chaos of modern urban existence. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: JOHN DOS PASSOS (1896?1970) was born in Chicago & graduated from Harvard in 1916. His service as an ambulance driver in Europe at the end of World War I led him to write "Three Soldiers" in 1919, the first in a series of works that established him as one of the most prolific, inventive, and influential American writers of the 20th century. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: Townsend Ludington is Cary C. Boshamer Professor of English & American Studies at the University of North Carolina & author of "John Dos Passos: A Twentieth Century Odyssey." * The LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, & keeping permanently in print, America's best & most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, & ribbon markers, & are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.

Libro Prima edizione Copia autografata
Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. 1st Edition. Stated First Printing, First Edition. Once listed, I believe this will be the Only signed trade edition. There was a signed Limited Edition and a number of those copies are for sale. Here, the signed inscription is on the half-title page. It reads: 'August 24, 1974, To the Coles, Dos needs loyal supporters like us all. Many thanks for your interest-- Best Always, Towny.' Towny was Townsend's nickname. 'Dos' was Dos Passos'. You can see the covers in the photos. They have some dust staining on the blue part of the front and rear cover. The silver lettering on the front the gilt lettering on the spine are both nicely bright. The cover edges are in very good shape, no rubbing. Same thing with the corners. There is a speck of a spot on the red part of the front cover and two such specks on the red part of the rear cover. The top page edge is red. The page edges look good. The middle one has some very light spotting. The spine has a moderate rearward lean. There is also a moderate-sized space between the top part of the spine and the textblock. This creates a little bit of puffiness around the top edge of the spine. The spine ends have just the lightest bit of crinkling. The signed page has some light spotting off its bottom and middle edges, mostly around the bottom corner (see photo). I don't see any of that anywhere else in the book, nothing on the rear end paper. When you look down at the middle page edge you will notice a little swerve just off the bottom edge. It doesn't cause any creasing on the pages, but you'll notice the bottom corners are a very slightly turned upward, not enough to have caused a crease to occur. There is an unrelated and fairly light bottom corner crease between pages 599 and 632. I'm not finding any top corner creases. There are no placeholder creases. The inside covers and end papers are red. They are very clean. The paper of the rear inside cover extends a tiny bit beyond the rear covers middle edge. If you are handy you could trim it. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The covers do bow out very slightly. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I'm not discovering any soiling. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And Mr. Ludington's signed inscription is the only writing to be found anywhere. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. It is very clean. The front and rear are a light green. The spine appears to have been sunned to a silver color. The jacket has a moderate amount of wear, a tiny chip and a few very small tears off the top edge of the spine, a tiny chip off the bottom edge of the spine, a thin tear off the front bottom edge just adjacent to the spine, a tiny tear off the front top edge, a little crinkling around the edges. The flaps are in pretty good shape. They are clean. There are two creases below the rear flap's top corner, one below the front flap's top corner. The jacket will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. Inscribed by Author(s).

Libro
hardcover, 6½" x 9½", with dust jacket 662 pages John Dos Passos was the author of many landmark twentieth century American novels. He had wide personal correspondence with Edmund Wilson, Ernest Hemingway, Sherwood Anderson, Dwight MacDonald, F Scott Fitzgerald, E E Cummings, and many other prominent writers of the 1920s and 30s. Covering exactly sixty years, the correspondence stretches between his years at Harvard, travels in Spain, the Near East and Russia, the American thirties, the Spanish Civil War, and postwar America; they transmit a remarkable sense of a full life as it happened. As packed book weighs 1½kgs (3¼lbs), slightly-higher-than-usual shipping costs may apply (email us your location, we'll quote first). Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with minimal stickers and rear barcode. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket.
