Sobre este artículo
London: Brentano's Ltd,, 1926. First UK edition, signed limited issue, one of 1,000 unnumbered copies signed by the author. The author's classic satire of the Jazz Age was an instant best-seller, and has serious Modernist credentials. It was hailed by Edith Wharton as "the great American Novel", and was selected by James Joyce for his daily designated reading time when he was half-blind and working on the first draft of Finnegans Wake (see Graham). The novel was first adapted into a Broadway musical in 1949. It is the 1953 film adaptation, starring Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe, which is remembered as one of the greatest films of all time. Octavo. Original blue cloth, spine and front cover lettered in gilt, gilt edges. Illustrated by Ralph Barton. Spine lightly dulled, slight peripheral rubbing; a very good copy.
