Written over the course of nine years from December 1944 through November 1953, A Fable is, as Random House proclaims, "The crowning achievement of William Faulkner's distinguished career." Partly based on the author's experience as a pilot during World War I, the plot is set in the trenches of France. The story takes place over the course of seven days and examines the internal conflicts each man must go through, a point which is emphasized by the parallels Faulkner draws between Corporal Stephan's struggles and the week-long Passion of Jesus Christ before his crucifixion. A Fable won both the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award. Signed.

An allegorical story of World War I, set in the trenches in France and dealing ostensibly with a mutiny in a French regiment, it was originally considered a sharp departure for Faulkner. Recently it has come to be recognized as one of his major works and an essential part of the Faulkner oeuvre. Faulkner himself fought in the war, and his descriptions of it "rise to magnificence," according to The New York Times, and include, in Malcolm Cowley's words, "some of the most powerful scenes he ever conceived."

Dust Jacket Condition: dj. First printing (stated). Signed limited first edition of Faulkner's Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning novel. Set in the trenches of the First World War, the grandly conceived FABLE was Faulkner's most overtly political novel and the product of a decade's labor. Marketed by its publisher as the controversial crowning achievement of a career studded with honors and bespangled with praises, A FABLE was also perfectly crafted to give Ernest Hemingway fits with its religious symbolism: whatever his own many faults, Hemingway wrote, at least "I did not write A Fable by William Faulkner." Faulkner, meanwhile, considered it his masterpiece. A handsome copy, in the unusually well preserved original glassine jacket. 8.25'' x 5.5''.
