One flaw noted, small comptession on the gilt edge (the long edge -see photo) Description: Up for auction is the book Journey in the Dark by Martin Flavin. A nation preoccupied with a major modern war might not be expected to produce much significant literature. Yet during WWII a number of excellent novels were published in the United States. Among these was Martin Flavin's Journey in the Dark, a brilliant social history of a self-made millionaire who renounces his comfortable existence to work in a defense factory. It is also a skillful allegory of a nation coming of age during the war. "No review can succeed in transmitting the art, the integrity, and the dramatic rightness of this book," wrote the New York Herald Tribune critic. Flavin's incisive portrait of America from the 19th century to the to the mid-20th century as seen through the eyes of an ordinary Midwestern businessman earned him the Pulitzer Prize in 1944. The writing was termed "so real that after reading the last page, your own life seems to be the dream, the book the actuality." Journey in the Dark combines entertainment with serious moral analysis of the American way of life. Once begun, it is a book you may not want to put aside - and you may not be able to forget.
