This copy of Erskine Caldwell’s controversial novel “God’s Little Acre” is a part of the prestigious Modern Library series, a testament to its literary significance. Published in 1933, the book caused a sensation with its frank depiction of poverty, sexuality, and the struggles of a dysfunctional family in rural Georgia. Caldwell’s unflinching prose and keen eye for detail brought the harsh realities of the Great Depression to life, challenging societal norms and censorship laws of the time. Despite initial bans and backlash, the novel has endured as a classic of Southern literature, praised for its authenticity and social commentary. This hardcover edition, though showing some wear on the dust jacket, offers collectors a chance to own a piece of literary history that still resonates with its raw, uncompromising vision of the human condition.
