Sobre este artículo
New York: George H. Doran Company, [1921]. FIRST EDITION. First issue with three blank leaves (after endpaper) at front of volume, and none at rear. With misprint "signing" for "singing" on page 213, line 31. Some minor foxing to pages, else a clean, near fine copy with cloth fresh and bright, in a first issue dust jacket (with only publisher's blurbs on front, rear and spine panels) which is also near fine with slight tanning to spine panel and only the most minor of wear at edges. Very scarce in the correct jacket and in this condition.
Sinopsis
Part of the generation that produced Ernest Hemingway and Ford Madox Ford, John Dos Passos wrote one of the most grimly honest portraits of World War I. Three Soldiers portrays the lives of a trio of army privates: Fuselli, an Italian American store clerk from San Francisco; Chrisfield, a farm boy from Indiana; and Andrews, a musically gifted Harvard graduate from New York. Hailed as a masterpiece on its original publication in 1921, Three Soldiers is a gripping exploration of fear and ambition, conformity and rebellion, desertion and violence, and the brutal and dehumanizing effects of a regimented war machine on ordinary soldiers.
