![]() ![]() From the distinguished WWI Fiction Collection of Barry Maurer, with his laid in bookplate (see our catalogue 150). It remains one of the most widely known anti-war novels of the pre-WWII years. Sidney Howard undertook a dramatic adaptation of some note in 1935, but the 1957 film adaptation by Stanley Kubrick did much to remind the post- war public of its virtues. ![]() ![]() Signed, in ink, by the author on the first blank. It was preceded by five hundred promotional copies of printed sheets bound in wrappers, untitled. The anti-war masterpiece that became an iconic motion picture-now with a foreword by the creator of the acclaimed HBO(tm) series The Wire Familiar to many as the Stanley Kubrick film starring Kirk Douglas, Paths of Glory explores the perilous complications involved in what nations demand of their soldiers in wartime. Item #WRCLIT75556 First published edition of the author's first and only novel, an account of the victimization of three French line soldiers by commanders intent on saving their own reputations. Spine and top edges a bit sunned, gilding has a bit of patina, as usual, otherwise a very good or better copy in lightly spine-sunned dust jacket with a bit of minor fraying at the lower edge toward the spine and trivial edgewear. ![]()
