Sobre este artículo
Porgy: A Play in Four Acts. Dorothy and DuBose Heyward. Doubleday, Page and Company: New York, 1927. First edition of first theatrical version based on the novel of Dubose Heyward. 203 pages. Measures 5 x 7.5 inches. Front and back boards with original orange wrappers, The Theatre Guild Library insignia on front. Du Bose Heyward created the character Porgy, a crippled street-beggar living in the black tenements of Charleston, based on Charlestonian Samuel Smalls. In some of the novel's passages, black characters speak in Gullah, a Creole language developed among enslaved African Americans on the Sea Islands. Langston Hughes credited Heyward with seeing the poetic qualities in the people of Catfish Row and making them "come alive". Sunning to spine and split along joints. Some chipping and light soiling. Front hinge cracked. Overall very good condition.
