Sobre este artículo
NY, Viking, 1947, first edition thus, dust jacket. Hardcover.. This is a "new" illustrated edition (not the "first" illustrated edition as so many seem to think since the true first edition was also illustrated), it reproduces 17 color paintings by Peggy Worthington who also illustrated the dust jacket as well as the front and rear pastedowns/endpapers, this copy is an unrecorded variant bound in black cloth printed in gold with green boards and without the front cover in-set illustration, this variant not recorded by Goldstone & Payne, see Morrow 32. Fine in a jacket with a bit of wear at the extremities.
Sinopsis
Tortilla Flat (1935) is an early Steinbeck novel set in Monterey, California. The book portrays with great sympathy and humour a group of paisanos (fellows/countrymen), denouncing society by enjoying life and wine in the idyllic days after the end of the Great War and preceding U.S. prohibition. Tortilla Flat was made into a film in 1942. Steinbeck would later return to the some of the panhandling locals of Monterey (though not the Spanish paisanos of the Flat) in his novel Cannery Row (1945).
