The Bridge of San Luis Rey; Thornton Wilder 1927 HC Stated 1st/4th; VG; Pulitzer

Description: The Bridge of San Luis Rey; Thornton Wilder 1927 HC Stated 1st/4th; VG; Pulitzer Winner This book does not have a dust jacket and the boards show some minor fading and wear. However given the age, they are in nice shape. The binding is tight and I question whether the book has even been read. The page edges have some yellowing but the interior of the book remains bright and clean. There is a owner's book plate on the front decorative paste down. All decorative pastedowns are bright and vibrant without tears or spine splits. Really, really nice copy of this classic. About the book: Won the 1928 Pulitzer Prize; On Friday noon, July the twentieth, 1714, the finest bridge in all Peru broke and precipitated five travelers into the gulf below. With this celebrated sentence Thornton Wilder begins The Bridge of San Luis Rey, one of the towering achievements in American fiction and a novel read throughout the world. By chance, a monk witnesses the tragedy. Brother Juniper then embarks on a quest to prove that it was divine intervention rather than chance that led to the deaths of those who perished in the tragedy. His search leads to his own death -- and to the author's timeless investigation into the nature of love and the meaning of the human condition.
