About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Lodestar Books, 1986 Lodestar Books, New York. 1986. Hard Cover. Ex-Library. First Edition/ First Printing. Book Condition: Fine. DJ; Fine. Ex-library with DJ in mylar, DJ taped to boards, pocket in front, Discard stamps to copyright page. 102 pages. Jewish Biography Series. Emma Lazarus's words inscribed on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty have inspired millions of immigrants, yet she never dreamed that her sonnet would become immortal. This is a timely portrait of a reclusive gifted writer who grew up privileged and sheltered in a world of her own imaginings. Here too is the story of the building of the Statue of Liberty and of its sculptor, Frederic Aguste Bartholdi. A very gently used, clean, unmarked, and very presentable ex-library book; very unlike most discard issues.
