Sobre este artículo
Sun Dial Press, 1943. Hard cover. Very good/Fair. 20th Century Fox movie tie-in edition, with stills from the movie and a pictorial dust jacket. Although this copy is not a first printing, the original plates from the 1942 printing were most likely used since page 112 has a period between "talk" and "this."
Jacket is chipped and worn along edges. Cover is worn along edges. Spine is shaken, but binding is secure. Previous owner's signature on front endpaper. Pages are tanned, but text is bright and unmarked.

Sinopsis
In this masterful tale set in Norway during World War II, Steinbeck explores the effects of invasion on both the conquered and the conquerors. As he delves into the emotions of the German commander and the Norwegian traitor, and depicts the spirited patriotism of the Norwegian underground, Steinbeck uncovers profound, often unsettling truths about war—and about human nature. Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck’s self-described “celebration of the durability of democracy” had an extraordinary impact as Allied propaganda in Nazi-occupied Europe. Despite Axis efforts to suppress it (in Fascist Italy, mere possession of the book was punishable by death), The Moon is Down was secretly translated into French, Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, Swedish, German, Italian and Russian; hundreds of thousands of copies circulated throughout Europe, making it by far the most popular piece of propaganda under the occupation. Few literary works of our time have demonstrated so triumphantly the power of ideas in the face of cold steel and brute force. This edition features an introduction by Donald V. Coers.
