Sobre este artículo
New York: The Viking Press, 1935. First edition. Fine in original slipcase.. Scarce unnumbered copy of the signed limited edition of Caldwell's short fiction. Caldwell's third and highly regarded collection of seventeen short stories, many of them set in the author's native Georgia and dealing with rural poverty, civil rights, and racial injustice; some light and comedic and some, like the title story, dark and violent. KNEEL TO THE RISING SUN was published just a few years after Caldwell's novels TOBACCO ROAD and GOD'S LITTLE ACRE, on whose greatness his reputation still rests. Though not noted in the book, a previous bookseller description of this copy records it as the copy of Thomas Guinzberg, president of The Viking Press, Caldwell's publisher. 7.5'' x 5.25''. Original rust cloth with gilt lettering on black morocco labels. Top edge gilt, other edges uncut. Yellow silk ribbon marker. In original tan paper-covered slipcase. 246 pages. Edition of 300, of which 285 numbered were for sale and 15 reserved for private distribution; this copy not numbered. Signed by Caldwell at limitation statement. Slipcase scuffed, with small tears to top panel; unobtrusive repairs visible along edges.
