About This Item
FIRST EDITION of the French translation (The English edition was first published in NY in 1938), one of 60 numbered copies on vélin de Rives (vellum), the only grand papier (deluxe) copies. An excellent copy with edges preserved completely uncut. A fine mostly unopened copy. Housed in a custom slipcase with chemise and leather label. Uncle Tom's Children is a collection of novellas and the first book published by Wright, who went on to write Native Son (1940), Black Boy (1945), and The Outsider (1953). When it was first published in 1938, Uncle Tom's Children included only four novellas: "Big Boy Leaves Home," "Down by the Riverside," "Long Black Song," and "Fire and Cloud." "The Ethics of Living Jim Crow" and "Bright and Morning Star," which are now the first and final pieces, respectively, were added when the book was republished in 1940. The book's title is derived from Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, an anti-slavery novel published in 1852 (Wikipedia).
