Description: LOOK HOMEWARD, ANGEL - Thomas Wolf Boxed First Edition Library FEL 1987 Perfect gift for the book collector! A classic high-quality exact facsimile of the 1st edition of LOOK HOMEWARD, ANGEL 1929. Published by The First Edition Library, hardbound, in jacket and hard slipcase. Purchased in 1987. Look Homeward, Angel: A Story of the Buried Life is a 1929 novel by Thomas Wolfe. It is Wolfe's first novel, and is considered a highly autobiographical American coming-of-age story.[1] The character of Eugene Gant is generally believed to be a depiction of Wolfe himself. The novel briefly recounts Eugene's father's early life, but primarily covers the span of time from Eugene's birth in 1900 to his definitive departure from home at the age of 19. The setting is a fictionalization of his home town of Asheville, North Carolina, called Altamont in the novel. In the late 1980s the First Edition Library (FEL) began publishing high quality facsimiles of famous first editions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Sold via subscription, the FEL eventually produced over one hundred titles, ranging from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead. The degree of accuracy maintained in the duplication of original first editions was nothing less than extraordinary. A distinguishing differences in First Edition Library productions is the use of acid free paper whether it was in the original or not - and often it was not. Condition: Excellent with minor signs of wear. The hard slipcase box has minor surface scuffs or smudge. The book itself is in outstanding condition. The desk jacket appears to have some minor surface snuffs caused from the slipcase. Please view images for retails Measures 8.25”x5.75”x2” - 625 pages Weight: 2 lbs Offers are welcome.
