Title: Vintage 1936 Fighting Angel Pearl S Buck John Day First Edition FE VG
Description:
Up for sale is a compelling piece of 20th-century literature: a 1936 hardcover copy of Fighting Angel by Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Pearl S. Buck. Published by the John Day Company, this is a verified First Edition (FE).
Fighting Angel serves as a powerful, deeply personal biographical portrait of Buck’s father, Absalom Sydenstricker, a fiercely dedicated and uncompromising missionary in China. Together with its companion volume, The Exile (which chronicled her mother's life), this work stands as a cornerstone of Buck's non-fiction legacy.
The book is in very good vintage condition. The binding is strong and tight, the text block is square, and the internal pages are clean, crisp, and remarkably well-preserved. The original cloth cover shows bright typography with only minimal, age-appropriate shelf wear. A premium acquisition for collectors of historical biography, mid-century first editions, or Pearl S. Buck's complete catalog.
