About this Item
Description:
Stockholm; Bonniers, 1951. Originalets titel: Sanctuary (New York, 1931). Översättning av Mårten Edlund. 22,5x15,5 cm. 236, (1, 1 blank) s. Osignerat rött halvklotband med förgylld ryggtitel och marmorerade pärmpapper. Främre omslaget medbundet. Namnteckning (Lars Norrlid) på halvtitelbladet. Fint ex. Första svenska utgåvan. "It concerns a group of social misfits, chief among whom are Temple Drake, the daughter of a judge, and Popeye, a Memphis hoodlum, and the drama is played out against the background of the degenerating society of Frenchman's Bend in Faulkner's fictional Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi. Moral authority is embodied in the character of the lawyer, Horace Benbow, who finds his idealism and his belief in human reason defeated by what one critic calls 'the horrifying power of evil' which the novel depicts." (The Oxford Companion to Twentieth-Century Literature in English). Enligt författaren "the most horrific tale I could imagine". Romanen skrevs före "As I Lay Dying" (1930) och existerar i två olika versioner; den refuserade och omskrivna som publicerades 1931, samt den ursprungliga versionen som gavs ut först 1981. Unsigned red half cloth with gilt title on spine and marbled boards. Front wrapper is preserved. Previous owner's name on the half-title. A fine copy of the first Swedish edition of "Sanctuary".
