Description

First Edition. With three full page black and white illustrations by Alonzo Kimball. 12mo, publisher’s original red cloth, the upper cover and spine lettered in gilt. 633, (4) ads pp. An attractive and well preserved copy, the red cloth fresh and clean though with some all-but-inevitable fading at the spine panel and some very slight edge wear. Internally clean and fresh with a bit of minor toning to ivory.

Edizione: scarce and a handsome and well preserved copy. the fruit of the tree is only the author's third novel. more importantly, it is one of wharton's few novels to deal directly with issues such as euthanasia, the problems of labor and industrial conditions, and professions for women, as well as wharton's more customary themes such as divorce. the novel made some significant critical impact- “her precision and directness in delineation of character are far beyond that of any of the novelists of to-day.” -boston advertiser. “dramatic, absorbing, and well written.”-new york sun.
