Sobre este artículo
New York: Robert M. McBride & Company, 1929. First Edition. First edition, first printing, first issue. 269 pp. Bound in publisher's original yellow cloth with titles stamped in black, blue topstain, lacking the dust jacket. Near Fine with a little toning to spine, subtle rubbing to cloth, a few faint stains to top edge, former owner's name on front free endpaper, offsetting to endpapers. A nice copy of the first issue of Steinbeck's first book, and one of just 1537 copies.
Sinopsis
A STANDOUT in the Steinbeck canon, Cup of Gold is edgy and adventurous, brash and distrustful of society, and sure to add a new dimension to the common perception of this all-American writer. Steinbeck's first novel and sole work of historical fiction contains themes that resonate throughout the author's prodigious body of work. From the mid-1650s through the 1660s, Henry Morgan, a pirate and outlaw of legendary viciousness, ruled the Spanish Main. He ravaged the coasts of Cuba and America, striking terror wherever he went. And he had two driving ambitions: to possess the beautiful woman called La Santa Roja, and to conquer Panama, the "cup of gold."
