Description
New York: The Viking Press, 1969. Very Good+. Second printing of revised paperback edition. Association copy signed by Hannah Arendt on the first page; Hans Morgenthau's copy from his family estate, although unmarked. [x], 306 pp. Bound in publisher's purple wraps. Very Good+ with moderate wear to covers, light soiling to textblock edges, and light toning to contents; binding firm. A rare signed copy of eight essays by the German-American political theorist and philosopher, from the library of the Morgenthau family. Hans Morgenthau, also a German-born political theorist, was Arendt's close friend, traveling companion, intellectual partner, and possibly lover during the last two decades of her life. Barry Gewen writes of their relationship in a 2015 article for The National Interest: Each supported the other in good times and bad. There was no more trying period for Arendt than the months in the mid-1960s when the controversy over her book Eichmann in Jerusalem was burning white-hot. [...] Morgenthau was unfailingly loyal. He dined with her at the University of Chicago faculty club when other faculty members made a point of shunning her, and when she was attacked in the New York Times, he wrote a letter to the editor in her defense. Reporting from New York, where a public meeting to discuss her ideas on Eichmann quickly deteriorated into a shouting match, Morgenthau said: “The Jewish community is up in arms.” He continued, “Reality has protruded into the protective armor of illusion and the result is psychological havoc.” For her part, Arendt was there for him when he was suffering through a series of illnesses. And when he was in danger of damaging his professional reputation because of his opposition to the Vietnam War, she was by his side..

Very Good-
Description
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. Very Good-. 1949. 1st Edition (A). Hardcover. (lacking the original dust jacket, but encased in a nice-looking facsimile reproduction of same; see 2nd image posted with this listing) [moderately worn copy, light soiling/foxing to top edge of text block, spine cloth somewhat faded and lightly stained; "Research Library / Twentieth Century-Fox" stamps on both pastedowns and on title page]. Classic hard-boiled/proletarian novel, about an immigrant trucker (of Greek heritage, as is the author) who, while trying to make a living hauling produce in California's Central Valley, has a tought time maintaining his independence and integrity while dealing with the underworld types who control the West Coast produce markets. The author drew on his own experiences for the book, and took it to the next artistic level as well, doing the screenplay for the pretty damn good movie version, directed by Jules Dassin -- whose political sympathies, well-tuned to the needs of this particular narrative, got him blacklisted not long after. The movie (retitled THIEVES' HIGHWAY) starred Richard Conte, Valentina Cortese, and Lee J. Cobb, at his snarling best as a vicious and crooked produce kingpin; this particular copy originated in the research library of the studio that made the film, Twentieth Century-Fox. NOTE again that this book bears a FACSIMILE dust jacket, to serve the dual purpose of protecting the book from further wear and enhancing its appearance on the shelf; its presence has not been factored in to our pricing. .
