About this Item

Signed limited edition. One of 1000 numbered copies signed by Faulkner, this being number 996. Publisher's dark blue cloth, with beveled edges, three crosses double stamped in white and blue to the front board, spine lettered in white and gilt, midnight blue topstain, and blue-gray endpapers; in the original tissue dust jacket; in the original blue-gray labeled paper slipcase. Fine book; about fine tissue jacket, with light edgewear and a touch of toning to spine; very good slipcase, with heavy spotting to spine, top edge, and panel margins, and some light nicks to label. Overall, a beautiful and complete copy of the author's Pulitzer Prize winning novel. Petersen A37.2a. 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.
