Sobre este artículo
New York: International Association of Newspapers and Authors, 1901. Benjamin Franklin Norris, Jr (1870-1902), influenced by Zola's naturalism, is famous for several "muckraking" novels that are associated with progressive causes for reform. He was also, unfortunately, influenced by the Social Darwinism and Scientific Racism of his day, and tainted by the ever-popular antisemitism. First published in 1899; this is a Near Fine copy of a reprinted edition from two years later; regarded as the Second Printing or the Second Edition. Not common. Decorative yellow cloth binding, with a design of hearts and garlands in red; titling in black on spine and front cover. Clean text; 339 pages. Contemporary (1902) gift inscription on the FFEP. Some light spotting on the rear cover. The rather scarce dustjacket is complete, but has quite a bit of chipping along the margins; darkened, more so on the spine. In an archival plastic protector.. Later Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
Sinopsis
IT had just struck nine from the cuckoo clock that hung over the mantelpiece in the dining-room, when Victorine brought in the halved watermelon and set it in front of Mr. Bessemer's plate. Then she went down to the front door for the damp, twisted roll of the Sunday morning's paper, and came back and rang the breakfast-bell for the second time.
