Sobre este artículo
New York: The Viking Press, 1957. First edition and first printing. Hardcover. 188 pages. A later book from the author of "The Grapes of Wrath" and "East of Eden." A very good copy in two tone cloth boards with some foxing to the endpapers and slight soiling to the spine in a fair dust jacket that has a number of small chips, tears, small stains, and some tape repairs to the verso.
Sinopsis
In his only work of political satire, The Short Reign of Pippin IV , John Steinbeck turns the French Revolution upside down as amateur astronomer Pippin Héristal is drafted to rule the unruly French. Steinbeck creates around the infamous Pippin the most hilarious royal court ever: Pippin’s wife, Queen Marie, who “might have taken her place at the bar of a very good restaurant”; his uncle, a man of dubious virtue; his glamour-struck daughter and her beau, the son of the so-called “egg king” of Petaluma, California; and a motley crew of courtiers and politicians, guards and gardeners. This edition includes an introduction by Robert Morsberger and Katharine Morsberger.

One of the greatest novelist of our time. He really knows how to describe our tainted lives.
