Wolfe, Thomas From Death To Morning (Stories By Thomas Wolfe)
New York Scribners 1935 First Edition, First Printing Cloth
Near Fine in a Very Good dustjacket. Bound in full brown cloth. Both the spine and the front panel are stamped in gilt. Octavo. 304pps. This volume is the first printing (Scribners 'A' and seal on the copyright page). There is a minor bump at the foot of the spine, light rubbing to the gilt on the spine and, internally, the scarce, sporadic fox-mark. Otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. No previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has moderate wear to the spine-ends and the flap-folds; it is, however, in presentable condition with some scratching and rubbing. The original price (2.50) is intact. A very nice, collector's-quality copy.
"...These stories reveal in Mr. Wolfe qualities as a writer unsuspected by the thousands who have read his longer works. They show what perfection he can achieve within a restricted compass -- especially noticeable in some of the five and six page stories here included, which for economy and precision of style are unsurpassed. Here Mr. Wolfe creates a world as perfectly as on the vast canvas of his novels. For all its varying moods of humor or profound perception, 'From Death To Morning' has a unity and a progress, as suggested in the title, which raise it far above the average story collection..."

Wolfe, Thomas Of Time And The River
New York Scribners 1935 First Edition Cloth
Fine in a Very Good dustjacket. Fully-bound in black cloth. Both the spine and the front board are brilliantly stamped in green and gilt. 912pps. First Printing: Scribner's 'A' and the publisher's seal on the copyright page. The pages are slightly and uniformly yellowed, otherwise clean, tight, and square. All tips are sharp.

The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has moderate edgewear -- mostly in the manner of creases and rubbings and with shallow chipping at the spine-ends. The original price is intact.
"...'Of Time and the River' is one of the great classics of American literature. The book chronicles the maturing of Wolfe's autobiographical character, Eugene Gant, in his desperate search for fulfillment, making his way from small-town North Carolina to the wider world of Harvard University, New York City, and Europe. In a massive, ambitious, and boldly passionate novel, Wolfe examines the passing of time and the nature of the creative process, as Gant slowly but ecstatically embraces the urban life, recognizing it as a necessary ordeal for the birth of his creative genius as a writer..."
