Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. First edition. Inscribed "For ? All Good Wishes Margaret Ahnert". In 1915, Armenian Christians in Turkey were forced to convert to Islam, barred from speaking their language, and often driven out of their homes as the Turkish army embarked on a widespread campaign…of intimidation and murder. In this riveting book, Margaret Ajemian Ahnert relates her mother Ester's terrifying experiences as a young woman during this period of hatred and brutality. At age 15, Ester was separated from her family during a forced march away from her birth town of Amasia. Though she faced unspeakable horrors at the hands of many she met, and was forced into an abusive marriage against her will, she never lost her faith, quick wit, or ability to see the good in people. Eventually she escaped and emigrated to America. Ahnert's compelling account of her mother's suffering is framed by an intimate portrait of her relationship with her 98-year-old mother. Ester's inspiring stories, told lovingly by her daughter, will give you a window into the harrowing struggle of Armenians during a terrible period in human history. Signed by Author.

Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. A KNOCK AT THE DOOR. Eva Hanagan. Constable & Co, London 1982 First edition. ISBN 0094645507 190pp Hardback. This copy is in fine unmarked condition in a fine unclipped dust wrapper. It has been signed on the title page ' Eva Hanagan' with no other dedication…. Eva Hanagan wrote her first novel when she was 54 and then made up for lost time by producing several in rapid succession - dark comedies laced with irony. Her first novel, In Thrall (1977), was described by one critic as a "delicious piece of watercolour Gothic".It was followed, in rapid succession, by Playmates (1978), The Upas Tree (1979), Holding On (1980) and A Knock at the Door (1982). Her novels are sharply observed social satires rich in dark irony, by turns tragic and comic. Auberon Waugh described Hanagan as the "Jane Austen of the 20th century". Ref AA4. Signed by Author(s).

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Number (2) to final page of text indicates the second printing. Dated July 17, 1947 and inscribed to "Polly Booth" and signed in black ink by the author to the otherwise blank FFE. Book is "very good" in a "good" original jacket with a 3/4-inch chip to top of spine. I…f Willard Motley is now remembered at all it's for a few words out of the millions he wrote: "Live fast, die young and leave a good-looking corpse" -- the motto of Nick Romano, the protagonist of Motley's 1947 novel, "Knock on Any Door," further immortalized a couple of years later by John Derek in the film of the same name, also starring Humphrey Bogart as the defense attorney. Romano is a former altar boy sent to reform school for some petty crimes who comes out hardened and spirals downward, eventually winding up on trial for killing a cop. Motley was born and grew up in the Englewood neighborhood of the South Side of Chicago, in one of the few African-American families residing in that neighborhood at the time. Willard couldn't find a job after graduating from Englewood High School and so wandered the Depression-ravaged country before returning there in 1939, where he lived in down-and-out conditions in the Maxwell Street area, published some short fiction in the Hull House Magazine and wrote for the Works Project Administration's Federal Writers Project, along with Richard Wright and Nelson Algren. Then he wrote "Knock on Any Door," which Bogart financed and worked to bring to the screen. Motley followed the hit with 1951's "We Fished All Night," about the impact of World War II on three young Chicago men. It was panned by the critics and ignored by the public. But in 1958 came "Let No Man Write My Epitaph," a best-seller that picked up the lives of some minor characters in "Knock on Any Door" and became a 1960 movie starring Burl Ives, James Darren and Ella Fitzgerald. Motley wound up being hounded by the IRS and spent his last years in near-poverty, some of those living in Mexico, where he adopted a son and wrote his final novel, "Let Noon Be Fair," published a year after his death in 1965. This inscribed copy now reduced from $700. Inscribed by Author(s).

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. A first edition of Knock on Any Door by Willard Motley, personally signed by the author. This copy is in Good to Very Good condition, with a solid binding, clean interior, and expected signs of age consistent with a well-preserved first edition. The original d…ust jacket is in Good condition, exhibiting moderate wear while remaining complete and highly presentable. The dust jacket is protected in a clear archival Mylar cover and will be shipped with the Mylar protector in place. Personally signed by Willard Motley, this copy represents a scarce opportunity to acquire the author's best-known work in collectible form. Published in 1947, Knock on Any Door is Motley's powerful novel of crime, poverty, and social injustice in postwar Chicago. Widely acclaimed upon publication, the book became a bestseller and was adapted into the classic 1949 motion picture starring Humphrey Bogart. Today it is recognized as an important work of twentieth-century American literature for its unflinching portrayal of urban life and its enduring social relevance. Signed first editions of Willard Motley's work are seldom encountered, particularly when accompanied by the original dust jacket. Despite honest wear consistent with age, this remains a highly desirable collector's copy that combines literary significance, historical importance, and the rarity of the author's signature. An increasingly scarce signed first edition from one of the notable voices of postwar American fiction. Signed by Author(s).
