Sobre este artículo
New York: The Viking Press, 1957. First Edition. Cloth and boards. Fine/Fine. 8vo, beige cloth with salmon lettering on spine over blind-stamped diamond motifs on salmon-colored boards, Mylar-protected pictorial dust jacket (unclipped) by William Pène Du Bois, 188 pages. Exceptional Condition! The Short Reign of Pippin IV: A Fabrication is John Steinbeck's only political satire. It takes a farcical look at French politics.
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.
