Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the lives of working-class individuals in early 20th-century America. The author weaves together two compelling stories: the tale of Luella, a young woman who succumbs to tuberculosis while working in a chocolate factory, and the poignant narrative of Lillie, a young factory worker struggling to find happiness and independence in a world that values economic security above all else. The book delves into the stark realities of poverty, the exploitation of workers, and the relentless struggle for survival in a rapidly changing society. Through these poignant narratives, the author sheds light on the social injustices and economic disparities that plagued the era, offering a stark glimpse into the lives of those often overlooked in the pursuit of progress. Ultimately, the book underscores the enduring human need for love, agency, and a sense of belonging, even amidst the harsh realities of an industrializing world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Octavo. pp. [1-8] [1-2] 3-319 [320: blank], original pictorial gray cloth, front panel stamped in orange and black, spine panel stamped in black. First edition. The second and last of Lyon's two books, both collecting some of his short fiction. Lyon's untimely death at age 33 cut short a promising literary career. His fiction was of high caliber and has been favorably compared with that of Stephen Crane and Ambrose Bierce. "The 31 tales and sketches in [SARDONICS and GRAPHICS] can be properly compared with the work of Crane and Bierce for vivid, highly characterized and purposeful narrative. 'The Second Motive' in SARDONICS and 'Revenge' in GRAPHICS are psychological murder tragedies at the two extremes of the social scale. Lyon, like Crane and Norris, died before his talents had fully matured and, unfortunately, when his work had only begun to appear in McCLURE'S MAGAZINE and to attract special attention." - Bennett, A Practical Guide to American Book Collecting, p. 204. Most of the stories in GRAPHICS (a collection dedicated to Joseph Conrad) are mystery or detective shorts, some with fantastic elements. "The Wind in the Lilacs" and "A Book in a Running Brook" contain short fairy tales with talking objects. "Ask and It Shall Be Given" features a blind boy who asks for the return of his sight on Christmas; an angel appears and gives him the ability to see into the hearts of people and this leads to an acceptance of his condition. Another Christmas story, "The 2000th Christmas," is set in the future and features a mysterious young Jew who possesses magical abilities and whose visit may constitute the second coming. "These stories of the straitened lives of people, most of them poor but a few rich, alternate between bleak cynicism and pietistic sentiment." - Robert Eldridge. Smith, American Fiction, 1901-1925 L-614. Hubin (1994), p. 519. Previous owner's bookplate affixed to front paste-down. Edges of text block dusty, mild bump to lower edge, some general light rubbing, small tear to cloth at upper right rear corner, a very good copy. (#126025).…

First edition. Octavo, [1-8] [1-2] 3-319 [320: blank] [note: last leaf is a blank] cloth. Lyon's second collection of short fiction and his last book. Lyon's untimely death at age 33 cut short a promising literary career. His fiction was of high caliber and has been favorably compared with that of Stephen Crane and Ambrose Bierce. "The 31 tales and sketches in [Sardonics and Graphics] can be properly compared with the work of Crane and Bierce for vivid, highly characterized and purposeful narrative. 'The Second Motive' in Sardonics and 'Revenge' in Graphics are psychological murder tragedies at the two extremes of the social scale. Lyon, like Crane and Norris, died before his talents had fully matured and, unfortunately, when his work had only begun to appear in McClure's Magazine and to attract special attention." - Bennett, A Practical Guide to American Book Collecting, p. 204. Lyon's two books were published in small editions and both are now uncommon. [Reference: Listed in Hubin, Crime Fiction II: A Comprehensive Bibliography 1749-1990].
