        The Thunderbird Volume VI, Number 3

      Albuquerque, NM: University of New Mexico, March, 1951. 34pp. Duodecimo [19 cm] Yellow stapled wrappers. Near fine. Very subtle bowing to covers. Edward Abbey&#39;s time as editor of the UNM&#39;s literary magazine was short lived. Abbey had previously contributed poetry and classical music reviews, but this was Abbey&#39;s debut as the featured writer. Not only did he write an essay on anachy advocating students resisting the war and burning their draft cards during the Korean War, he published the oft quoted Diderot quote on the cover and attributed it to Louisa May Alcott! Abbey&#39;s efforts had the desired effect. The issue was seized and destroyed by the UNM officials and it would take a decade for the university to recover from Abbey&#39;s antics, and once again permit a literary journal to be published on campus. One of the scarcer and more desirable of Abbey&#39;s early ephemeral literary efforts. The essay, "Some Implications of Anarchy" features one Jonathan Troy, and was the basis for his master&#39;s thesis at UNM. Jonathan Troy went on to become the author&#39;s first published novel; an effort Abbey later referred to as failed Thomas Wolfe. Abbey never allowed Troy to be published again and it remains only in this form and in the rare first edition.

        Plain Murder

      London: Michael Joseph. 1951, 1951. FORESTER FAMILY COPY. 8vo. Reprint edition. Publisher&#39;s cloth in unclipped dustwrapper. Some moderate edgewea; very good. With signed ex-libris from the Forester and Troughton-Smith Family Archive to front pastedown. Inscribed by Forester to his nephew Stephen to front flyleaf: "To Stephen/ with best wishes from his reluctant uncle / C. S. Forester" Cecil Louis Troughton Smith wrote adventure stories under the pen name Cecil Scott Forester. Brought up in England, much of Forester&#39;s writing life was spent in California, a sufferer from arteriosclerosis and a partial invalid, sadly ironic for a man who had created one of the most distinctive and popular action heroes in the form of Horatio Hornblower. Forester married his second wife Dorothy, in 1947 and they lived in California until Forester&#39;s death in 1966. Having remained close to Forester&#39;s nephew; Mr. Stephen Troughton-Smith, who had a close relationship with his uncle, Dorothy eventually ended up living with Stephen and his family in Sussex after she became too frail to cope on her own. After her death in 1998 her Forester related books, correspondance and ephemera were bequeathed to Stephen Troughton-Smith who combined them with his own material to form the Forester Troughton Smith family archive. After his death the archive arrived in auction. Toovey&#39;s Auctioneers 21/02/2012

      Rinehart (1951)., New York: - First edition. From the collection of Adeline Lubell-Naiman. INSCRIBED "To Adel and Lucky / - from the sweet / megalomaniac / With love / Norman / April 1951." Head of spine creased and bumped, edge wear to the cheap boards, light foxing to endpapers, small stain to fore edge, otherwise about very good in lightly chipped dust jacket with rubbing to edges and folds. Adeline Lubell-Naiman was the editor instrumental in the eventual publication of THE NAKED AND THE DEAD. In 1946, while an editor at Little, Brown, Lubell-Naiman convinced Mailer to submit the first 200 pages of THE NAKED AND THE DEAD, which she talked up to her publisher. Unfortunately, she was also the one to suggest historian and critic Bernard DeVoto read the manuscript--he recommended not publishing. But Mailer submitted it to Rinehart, who published the book in 1948. Over the years, Lubell-Naiman remained close friends with Mailer and his wives. In the summer of 1968 she even played the role of "Adeline McCarthy," a president of a women's college in Mailer's film "Maidstone" (Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center website).

        Portrait of the Artist as An American. Ben Shahn: A Biography With Pictures

      Harper & Brothers, New York 1951 - The first full-length biography of Shahn, written by his long-time friend Selden Rodman. Shahn was fifty-two years old and at the height of his fame when the biography appeared. According to Shahn's later biographer Howard Greenfeld, both Shahn and Rodman were very pleased with the work, Rodman immodestly declaring it "the best that has been written about an American artist" and Shahn praising it as a work whose "great beauty.lies in its critical and philosophical outlook." Many critics agreed, among them James Thomas Flexner who praised the work as the ".story of a meaningful life, evoked in all its complexity.a work of art in itself." Quarto (25cm). Cloth boards; 180pp; illus. BEN SHAHN'S COPY, warmly inscribed by Rodman to Ben & Bernarda Shahn in year of publication: "For Bernarda, who generously "forgot" my worst lapses, and to Ben, who won't (conveniently) stop "remembering" - with my love, Selden," datemarked Roosevelt, NJ, 1951.

        Barabbas [Signed / Ingraverat]

      New York: Random House, 1951. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. A Very Good copy of the first American edition, first printing (fading to the upper portion of the front board&#39;s cloth reflecting the damaged area of the dust jacket, otherwise showing only light edge wear and slight lightening at the board extremities), in a Very Good price-clipped dust jacket (with light edge wear, a damage to the upper right portion of the front panel, some sunning to the spine, a few small stains, and tape repairs to the interior of the front panel and flap), SIGNED BY PAR LAGERKVIST on the title page. Elected in 1940 as one of the 18 "Immortals" of the Swedish Academy, Par Lagerkvist was a highly influential writer from his twenties into his seventies and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1951 "for the artistic vigour and true independence of mind with which he endeavors in his poetry to find answers to the eternal questions confronting mankind". In his Presentation speech, Anders Österling, Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy, specifically cited Barabbas as one of Lagerkvist&#39;s major and most emblematic works, stating that "while Pär Lagerkvist makes use of different genres, dramatic or lyric, epic or satiric, his way of grasping reality remains fundamentally the same. ...each work plays the role of a stone in an edifice he intends to build; each is a part of his mission, a mission that always bears on the same subject: the misery and grandeur of what is human, the slavery to which earthly life condemns us, and the heroic struggle of the spirit for its liberation. This is the theme in all the works we choose to recall at this time: Gäst hos verkligheten (1925) [Guest of Reality]; Hjärtats sånger (1926) [Songs from the Heart]; Han som fick leva om sitt liv (1928) [He Who Lived His Life Over Again]; Dvärgen (1944) [The Dwarf]; Barabbas (1950). It is needless to cite others to give an idea of the scope of Lagerkvist&#39;s inspirations and the power of his genius." The first of Lagerkvist&#39;s works to be published in the United States, the novel gives a somewhat fictionalized account of Barabbas, the violent Jewish insurrectionist who, at the behest of the gathered crowd, was freed by Pontius Pilot (then the Prefect of the Roman Province, Judaea) in lieu of the innocent Jesus. Through Barabbas, Lagerkvist explores the fundamental question of good and evil. Quite well received, the novel immediately was described by many, including Andre Gide, as a masterpiece. The book provided the basis for the 1962 Dino De Laurentiis film of the same name starring Anthony Quinn as Barabbas, and featuring Arthur Kennedy as Pontius Pilate, Jack Palance as Torvald - the fiercest and most-skilled of the Gladiators, Silvana Mangano, Katy Jurado, Harry Andrews, Ernest Borgnine, and Vittorio Gassman. Beyond our shelves, signed copies of Lagerkvist&#39;s books in English translation are quite uncommon and difficult to obtain. A Very Good copy of perhaps the best-known novel ever written by a Swede, and his debut book publication in the United States, SIGNED BY PAR LAGERKVIST. SCARCE.

        Pursuit of Gentlemen [with unproduced typescript play]

      Coward McCann Inc. New York: Coward-McCann, Inc.. (1951). First. First edition. Illustrated by Jack Long. Near fine with slight soiling to boards and some edgewear in a very good dustwrapper with rubbing, chips and tears. Inscribed by the author. Laid in are eleven 8.5" x 11" photocopied pages of a typed treatment for staging the book as a play with hand-written corrections. All pages have been folded and are very good with shallow chips and tears.Kathryn Cochran Cravens, 1898--1991, a radio personality, actress and writer from Texas was the first female news commentator to be broadcast coast to coast. Pursuit of Gentlemen, her only novel, was published in 1951, the manuscript for which won first prize from the National League of American Penwomen in 1948. The novel is a fictionalized version of her adventures as a trailblazing woman with humble Texas beginnings finding her way through New York society.She started her career playing small parts for Fox Films in Hollywood. The following decade would include work in silent films and eventually radio, where she found her niche. By 1930 she was given her own news program in St. Louis, "News Through a Woman's Eyes." CBS eventually picked up the show and Cravens moved to New York. After the show she wrote columns for Cosmopolitan, The New York Times, and The Christian Science Monitor before focusing on the war effort. In 1945 she became the first woman wartime correspondent. She was later acknowledged for her efforts with a special citation presented by the United States Army.Although never performed, Cravens typed up staging directions for the first two acts of Pursuit of Gentlemen, which appears here. The draft includes notes in pen by the author on the content as well as duplications and "writer's copies." This would be her last published work as Cravens retired to her family home in Burkett, Texas in 1952 after making it to "Who's Who in America." .

        Correspondence

      1951, 1952, 1970 1951 - One typed letter signed, one autograph letter signed, and one autograph postcard signed by the controversial author of Worlds in Collision, Earth in Upheaval, and others. Velikovsky's books suggested that Earth's history was defined more by sudden catastrophes than by slow evolution. They became quite popular during the 1960s, when conventional wisdom of all sorts was being called into question. Each letter is written to a Mr. Tereshchenko: the first refutes two notions in a book by "Beaumont;" the second letter assures the recipient that the second volume of Ages [in Chaos] will be published and is being held up by Velikovsky himself; the third voices intent to send along a 1946 publication and explains that Ages in Chaos grew to a tetralogy. "Beaumont" is William Comyns Beaumont, a British author whom some claimed had advanced the notions put forward by Velikovsky a generation earlier. The first letter is secured across the midpoint fold with tape; very good. The second letter is on airmail paper; folded and opened as designed; else fine. The postcard is fine. Correspondence, or any autograph material, by Velikovsky is quite scarce, especially with significant content.

        Olduvai Gorge

      Cambridge: the University Press,, 1951. A Report on the Evolution of the Hand-Axe Culture in Beds I-IV. With Chapters on the Geology and Fauna by Hans Reck and A. T. Hopwood. Quarto. Original orange cloth, titles to spine gilt. With the dust jacket. Diagram and illustrations from photographs throughout. Lightly rubbed at extremities, corners bumped, spotting to endpapers. A very good copy in the rubbed, spotted, and nicked jacket. First edition, first impression. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Donald, Aug 1951". The recipient was Donald B. MacInnes, a palaeontologist who worked closely with Leakey. The Olduvai Gorge was the most important of the archaeological sites that Leakey excavated. He and his family worked there regularly from 1931 onward, and it was where he made his most important finds. In 1959 his wife Mary "found the skull of a 1.8 million-year-old australopithecine, which Leakey named Zinjanthropus boisei, affectionately called Dear Boy. A film of the excavation of &#39;Zinj&#39; reached a wide television audience, and the Leakeys became celebrities" (ODNB). In the following year Leakey&#39;s son discovered "the 1.75 million-year-old remains of a creature later named Homo habilis. At the time, this creature was the oldest known fossil of the human genus, Homo, and is presumed to have used the first known stone tool technology" (ODNB).
