Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Soft cover, 8vo, in original color printed wraps with advertising to rear. 398- 529pp, -664pp. and -796 pp. These three, original World War II-vintage magazines reflect wartime debates on international diplomacy and American politics, as well as presenting a snapshot of contemporary literature, poetry, biography, book reviews, short fiction and serialization, publisher's literary catalogs and contemporary advertising. The October issue entitled, "Our Hitting Power" contains article on the Air Force by Francis V. Blake, as well as a reflection on the new Chinese ambassador to the United States, Dr. Hu Shih, by Marquis W. Childs. W.R. Castle contributes " A Monroe Doctrine for Japan." Albert Jay Nock writes a political article about the Presidential campaign, entitled Epstean's Law," and Ray Lyman Wilbur an article entitled, " Statehood for Hawaii." Condition this issue: Very Good, with usual light wear to wraps, name to cover in old ink, and brief underlining for the dictionary exercise of the original owner, who appears to have been a 5th grader. The November, 1940 issue features a William Faulkner short story, "Gold is not Always, " published first here, and later forming part of his 1942 novel, " Go Down Moses." Gertrude Stein contributes an article entitled, " The Winner Loses," about France under German occupation. The 1940 Presidential election is debated in competing articles by John Hanes and James M. Landis regarding the two candidates, Wendell Willkie and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Condition this issue: ditto as above, also with reinforced tape at foot and head of spine. No underlining. Notable in the December, 1940 issue is a short story by the Irish-American author and theater director, Mary Manning entitled, " Dear Lord Bellevue," a story of hereditary bankruptcy ("My mother was dressed by Worth and I am dressed by Woolworth.") in which a down-at-heels Irish lord gives a tour of his abandoned manor to two young acquaintances. Gontran de Poncins writes about "The Seal Eskimos." Also, an advertorial undersigned by sixteen members of the Faculty of Harvard Law School entitled, "A Proposal for Action in the Far East," advocates for a naval embargo of Japan, sharing of naval bases with Britain, Denmark and others in the area, as well as possible strategic aid to China. Condition this issue: Good only, with cover of wrap three-quarters detached. A fascinating time capsule of the period.
