This well-loved copy of John Steinbeck’s “In Dubious Battle” is a testament to the enduring power of the author’s unflinching portrayal of the harsh realities faced by migrant workers in California during the Great Depression. Published in 1936, the novel was Steinbeck’s first to address the labor movement and the plight of the working class, themes that would become central to his later masterpieces like “The Grapes of Wrath.” Despite its age and wear, this edition offers a window into a pivotal era in American history, capturing the desperation, resilience, and ultimately, the humanity of those caught in the grip of economic turmoil. For collectors and readers alike, this copy represents an opportunity to immerse themselves in Steinbeck’s vivid storytelling and gain a deeper understanding of the social and political forces that shaped the 20th century American experience.
